Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, which has always been very popular in jewellery making, thanks to its good ductility, hardness, resistance to corrosion and, compared to the pure metals, a pleasant price. In its raw, unplated state, brass has a beautiful golden colour, which is sometimes confused with gold. Over time, however, brass becomes passivated (coated with a layer of oxides to protect it from corrosion) and changes colour through yellow-green to yellow-brown to green to green-brown. This layer is popularly known as cupro and is mostly made up of a thin layer of alkaline malachite. Therefore, brass is plated extensively to ensure better colour stability.

Due to the colour settings of the monitor, the colour of the product may differ slightly from reality.
