We use quality recycled brass to craft a majority of our jewels, melting down excess metals that are used during the casting process to reduce waste. Free of nickel, cadmium and lead, and with its durable nature and resistance to rust and corrosion, these jewels are perfect to wear for your everyday styling. Each piece is plated in 14K - 18K gold or rhodium, and e-coated for longevity and shine. Safe for sensitive skin.
