Brass jewelry

Composition of our brass jewelry

Brass jewelry Omyoki are handmade, for the most part. Those that come from presses (simple and full shapes) benefit from handmade finishes. Our brass jewelry is not gold plated because, ultimately, plating rarely lasts over time. Brass tarnishes over time, but with a wipe of a cloth, it regains all its shine.

Brass or “yellow copper” is a metal alloy essentially composed of copper and zinc. Easy to work with and inexpensive, it is used in many areas, particularly in jewelry. Brass is a very robust alloy, which will last over time. Indeed, a brass ornament is resistant to both corrosion and salt water.

Brass has been used in jewelry for hundreds of years. It is mainly the Indian artisans who initiated this use, which became common later. Now very trendy, brass jewelry is on the rise!

Origin of gilded brass jewelry

Our jewelry is all made in India, in the heart of Rajasthan. This land of princes and maharajas, where jewelry craftsmanship and know-how have been renowned for hundreds of years.
