Brass jewellery
Brass provides a sturdy base for our gold- and silver-plated jewellery, enhancing the durability of the pieces. The plating offers a beautiful, lasting sheen that can be prolonged with the right care.
Handling brass jewellery
Plated brass jewellery may tarnish over time, as it is the nature of the material. Tarnishing occurs as the brass reacts to air and moisture, causing it to oxidise and appear darkened. The oxide layer protects the brass and forms a beautiful patina over time, but it can easily be cleaned off to restore the original brightness and shine.
To slow down this process, remove your brass jewellery before showers and intense workouts, as moisture and sweat accelerate oxidation.
To protect plating and stones from damage, avoid direct contact with perfume, soap, and other beauty products while wearing your jewellery.
Cleaning brass jewellery
Clean your brass jewellery regularly with a soft microfibre cloth to remove dirt and oils. Gently rub the surface, avoiding scrubbing or using abrasive materials.
Avoid using steel wool or other materials that can scratch the brass. Clean gently to avoid wearing down the plating.
Use a non-abrasive polish to remove tarnishing and restore the shine of the surface.
Storing jewellery
Store the jewellery in a cool, dry place, ideally in a soft-lined box to protect it from scratching and impact damage. Plated brass objects should not be exposed to water or moisture.
Keep the pieces separate to prevent them from rubbing together or tangling up.

Signe Siemsen on the freedom of trusting in nature
Interviews|April 2025
Plants have always been a source of both food and medicine, and the knowledge of how to use them has been passed down through generations. However, for most people today, that link is broken, and nature often represents something we need to approach with care. For Signe Siemsen – an herbalist, doula, and craftswoman living in Stockholm – having a relationship with the wild brings healing and meaning to what it means to be human.

Notes|April 2025
