Cowrie Shell Brass Bangle

The cowrie shell used is sourced from second-hand stock. I exclusively use existing shells and deliberately avoid shells newly fished or cultivated for jewelry production, to promote a sustainable and ethical approach to natural resources.

About the material:

Brass is a great alternative to gold, as it is more affordable and has a wonderful character. It is normal for brass to tarnish over time due to moisture (from the air or skin), but with proper care, it remains very durable and brings two positive properties:

1. You can determine or "control" the gold tone of the brass you want to wear, because over time the tone will become darker and warmer, but if you polish it again, it will become lighter and more radiant.

2. You can polish brass again and again! A brass polishing cloth is included in the delivery, with which you can regularly care for your piece of jewelry. If discoloration is more stubborn, you can also use vinegar + baking soda or toothpaste for polishing. To make care even easier, remove your brass jewelry before showering or swimming and store it in an airtight container when you are not wearing it for a while.

The colors of the piece may vary slightly in reality due to different lighting conditions, and imperfections cannot be excluded, as it is a handmade piece of jewelry.
