Brass - Brass Copper - copper

Brass it is an alloy of copper and zinc. Depending on the finish, our gold products may be shiny (POLISHED - POLISHED) or matte (BRUSHED - BRUSHED) . The copper content determines the warmer – more pink in color. In the past, brass with the addition of lead was used, but this practice is disappearing, especially in places exposed to contact with water and food. Popular "siblings" of brass include, for example: tombac, with a very warm color, containing at least 80% copper, used by fraudsters in jewelry, resembling warm gold, marked with the MET hallmark.

Copper has accompanied humanity for a long time, and the discovery and dissemination of one of its alloys - bronze was so important that it pushed the development of our civilization and was remembered as an important era. As a decorative element and color in the interior, the copper trend comes and goes. Currently, it is most visible in two options:
- raw, loft character, inspired by vats, pipes, technical elements and machines,
- very warm and feminine, delicate, in which copper, yellow and pink gold harmonizes with the colors of peach, white and marble.

Once a very popular metal alloy for making decorations, often figurines. It can be found in the automotive and electrical industries or on water valves because brass is resistant to corrosion under normal operating conditions and does not rust in water. However, you should remember that it also requires care to please your eyes for a long time and stay with us for years.
