What makes brass so great to work with?

• Brass is highly durable

• Brass is polished easily

• Brass is corrosion resistant

• Brass is green: a highly machinable material makes it
  able to be accurately manufactured with less scrap, less rework and less
  energy than other materials. Products made from brass generally have
  good "cradle-to-grave" characteristics as not only do they show good
  durability but brass is also readily recycled at the end of the products
  working life.

• Brass is lead and nickel free

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

"Making good jewellery is made up of three basics...good materials, good tools, and good techniques."
