Animal Print Texture Concave 50mm Brass Vintage Pendant

All brass pressed metal blanks, charms and motifs are brass and manufactured from original vintage patterns by predominantly hand crafted family owned companies in Germany, Czech Republic and France dating back to the early 1900s. A few of these companies still survive today and manufacture original vintage repro styles.

WHY WE LOVE WORKING WITH BRASS AND YOU WILL ALSO!

• Brass is highly durable

• Brass is polished easily

• Brass is corrosion resistant

• Brass is green: a highly machinable which means less scrap, less rework and less
  energy than other materials.

• Brass is lead and nickel free

• Brass has a soft muted honey colouring, which makes it the most complimentary of all metal finishes.

CARE
Brass will naturally darken (called a patina) as it ages.
You may like the antique it creates however if you want to bring the piece back to a shiny brass simply:

Boil 1 cup of water, set aside until warm then add a tblsp vinegar and drop of washing up detergent. Combine all ingredients in a jar & gently shake for 30 seconds. Dry on a paper towel.
It's that easy!
