Gold jewelry for women

Why choose gold plated brass jewelry?

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. It is commonly found in jewelry stores, but more surprisingly: it has also made its way into major ready-to-wear brands! If it is so popular, it is because it has many advantages.

First of all, with its warm golden shine , brass brings a touch of luxury and elegance to all your outfits. A perfect alternative to gold, it is just as robust, but much less expensive! Enough to allow you to enjoy quality jewelry at affordable prices.

Brass jewelry is also very durable: it does not deform easily and is suitable for everyday use. In addition, it perfectly withstands repeated handling and remains robust against shocks and wear.

Finally, brass is easy to shape. It is a material of choice for creative jewelers, who can then express their imagination through a wide variety of styles, modern or older geometric shapes, to produce unique creations.

Does brass jewelry oxidize?

Yes, brass jewelry oxidizes over time. Brass oxidation occurs when copper reacts with air, humidity, the acidic pH of the skin, or cosmetic products. A green patina or a brown-gray tarnish then appears: these are copper oxides or carbonates. Rest assured: this is a natural process that is far from irreversible. Here are some tips to limit oxidation :

Remove your jewelry before showering or exercising: water and sweat accelerate oxidation.
Avoid direct contact with cosmetic products (lotions, perfumes, creams, etc.)
Store them in an airtight container to limit contact with air.

How to maintain and clean your brass jewelry?

Cleaning your gold-plated brass jewelry is very simple. The best-known trick is to gently wash your jewelry with soapy water, using a soft-bristled toothbrush. Be careful not to rub too vigorously to avoid scratches. Once the jewelry is clean, rinse it and then dry it with a soft cloth.

You can also try cleaning your jewelry with white vinegar, which is known to effectively remove oxidation. To do this, soak a soft cloth in white vinegar and gently rub the surface of the jewelry. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

What to pair your gold jewelry with?

Much more than just accessories, jewelry serves to enhance your natural beauty. Over the years, they have become essential: we never go out without them! But do we really know how to wear them? Here are some tips to reveal their full potential:

Colors: Gold jewelry pairs perfectly with the black and white pieces in your wardrobe. Indeed, the two-tone effect (black/gold or white/gold) brings out the warm colors. We also dare to use shades of blue (the complementary color of yellow), for a perfect alliance.
The pieces: Are you wearing a simple outfit? You can spice it up with maxi-volume jewelry to attract attention: large earrings, a wide necklace or a cuff, for example. Your outfit is already elaborate: opt for more discreet jewelry for a look that combines refinement and elegance.
Dare to layer: multi-row gold necklaces or bracelets have been very fashionable in recent seasons.
