Brass/Bronze Care Instructions
A polishing cloth is a great tool to make your jewelry shine again if the pieces have become dull.
Why brass/bronze jewelry turn your skin green?
It's known as the oxidation reaction. The brass or other base metal reacts with oxygen in the air, your sweat and skin oils creating a green layer of brass carbonate on your skin. Relax; it shouldn't be anything to be concerned about. Most likely you're not allergic to the brass, very few people are. Simply keep your brass clean and dry and remove any oil or sweat which may be on your jewelry.
Keeping your jewelry clean will help in the prevention of oxidation turning your skin green. Take off your brass jewelry every night. Wipe your jewelry with a clean soft cloth when you remove it. Doing this will clean any body oils or sweat off your jewelry. The cleaner you keep your brass jewelry the less likely your skin will discolor from oxidation.
