Antique Brass
Our
jewelry is primarily made of brass that has been antiqued using an
environmentally-friendly metal finishing process.
Over time, however
brass will tarnish due to perspiration, pollution, weather and
cosmetics. To brighten your jewelry use a fine steel wool or kitchen
scouring pad and gently rub in a circular motion to lift any tarnish.
Make sure to dry the brass thoroughly. We
don't recommend liquid brass cleaners since a build-up develops on the
metal. You can also store your jewelry in an airtight plastic bag to prevent
tarnish.
Gemstones
Our designs employ an array of natural semi-precious stones that Jan hand selects from around the world. Because each piece is unique, please note that each gemstone will have slight variances in shape, color, pattern and texture.
These teardrop shaped earrings feature faceted quartz beads and a hematite navette. Earthy nuggets of pyrite are suspended
