About Bronze

Bronze is an alloy made of copper and tin, has a lovely warm golden colour, and is an affordable alternative to 10 or 14k gold.

Bronze is a durable, easy to clean, and will last for decades with proper care.However, the copper content of this metal can oxidise in combination with skin oils, creating a greenish layer of copper carbonate on skin. This more often can occur with tight rings worn in hot weather, because of the lack of air circulation between your finger and the ring.

An easy fix is to coat only the inside of your piece with clear nail polish. This creates a barrier, preventing oxidation.

You can also minimise oxidation by taking your jewellery off at night and keeping it clean. 

Taking your ring off when washing your hands and drying your hands thoroughly before putting your ring back on can help.

We recommend sizing up one size for thick rings, to give a little more air space.

Bracelets have air circulation between your wrist and the bracelet, so should have minimal to no oxidation.
