About Charms and Filigrees
Brass stampings including filigrees, ornaments and charms are some of the most versatile pieces we offer. They can be used as links (by themselves or with other findings and beads), pendants or charms for necklaces and earrings, & instant rings & brooches. Adorn brass cuffs & use for embellishments in polymer clay for beautiful vintage inspired jewellery.
Used predominately in the manufacture of couture jewellery in the 18 and 19th centuries, brass stampings have once again become extremely popular in contemporary jewellery from centre stage pendants, to eclectic charm bracelets and chandelier earrings. Many of the pieces we feature are still made from the original dies inspired by the Victorian period and created in the late 1800's. They were designed and made in France, Bohemia and Italy in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Brass Care: over time raw brass will naturally oxidise or dull. You may like the antique patina it creates however if you want to bring the piece back to shiny simply use some lemon juice & gently scrub the surface with a toothbrush. This is the finish we use in all our vintage workshops as we love the old finish raw brass takes on over time.
We recommend you do not leave raw brass in wet areas eg bathrooms or wear whilst in water.
Alternatively purchase raw brass then have it plated. We can organsie for you. The minimum is x10pc of a style. Please allow 10- 14 days delivery. Please specify in the checkout box under special instructions the finish: antq silver, silver, gold or black.
(No returns accepted on any brass stampings/filigrees).
