Shine Bright with John S Brana's Dazzling Aluminum Jewelry Collection

by John Brana
Published date:June 07, 2024
Handcrafted Aluminum Jewelry Collection by John S Brana

John S. Brana’s Aluminum Jewelry Collection is the perfect way to add a stylish and affordable touch to any wardrobe. Whether you’re looking for an everyday accessory or something special for a night out, John S. Brana’s collection of handmade aluminum jewelry has you covered.

Damask Embossed Large Teardrop Aluminum Earrings

Our line features lightweight fashion pieces that deliver a stylish, statement-making boost to any outfit. With designs ranging from classic and understated to bold, you'll always have something special for your wardrobe! Plus our high-quality aluminum construction ensures durability — these unique items will continue looking great season after season!

John S. Brana began his career as a jeweler in 2004, initially focusing on traditional materials such as gold and silver. Over time, he noticed an increasing demand for more affordable options, which led him to experiment with different types of metals — eventually leading him to create his signature aluminum jewelry line in 2014. He chose this material due to its affordability and durability — it’s light enough for comfortable wear but strong enough to last for years without tarnishing or losing its shine.

He believes that everyone should be able to accessorize without breaking the bank — regardless of budget size or fashion preference. With that goal in mind, he created an affordable yet fashionable line of jewelry made from aluminum that anyone can wear with confidence. His innovative designs have earned him recognition both within the industry and beyond—his work has been featured in magazines such as 7X7, MJSA/Journal, InDesign, Jewellery World Review, Gentry, Instore, and Niche — just to name a few!

The Benefits of Aluminum Jewelry

Aluminium jewellery by John S. Brana offers a unique blend of style and affordability, making it an excellent choice for fashion enthusiasts. Known for its lightweight and durable properties, aluminium jewellery is perfect for those seeking comfortable yet striking accessories. This hypoallergenic metal is not only practical but also comes in a variety of designs, from simple to intricate, ensuring that there's a piece for every taste. Whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or adding a touch of elegance to your everyday look, aluminium jewellery is a versatile and chic option.

If you’re looking for an accessory that adds a little something extra to your outfit without weighing you down, aluminum jewelry is a perfect choice. Not only is it lightweight, but aluminum jewelry also offers other benefits like hypoallergenic properties and durability. Let’s take a look at why aluminum jewelry should be your go-to accessory.

Lightweight and Durable

If you’re looking for a lightweight, stylish way to spruce up your wardrobe, aluminum jewelry is an excellent choice. It won't weigh you down like gold or silver, and its durability means it will last longer—no matter how much wear and tear it takes. Plus, aluminum has its own unique charm that will make any outfit look fabulous! Let's take a closer look at why you should consider adding aluminum jewelry to your collection.

Comfort

The most obvious advantage of aluminum jewelry is its weight—or lack thereof. Unlike heavier metals such as gold or silver, aluminum is incredibly lightweight, making it comfortable to wear all day long without feeling weighed down. This makes aluminum jewelry ideal for those who want to take their style up a notch but don’t want the hassle of carrying around heavy pieces.

Durability

Another great benefit of aluminum jewelry is its durability. Because of its lightness, aluminum won’t break like other metals when exposed to everyday wear and tear. This means that your favorite pieces can last much longer than traditional metal jewelry — giving you more bang for your buck! Plus, with proper cleaning and care, your aluminum jewelry can look just as good as new for years to come.

Aluminum may not be as flashy as other metals such as gold or sterling silver, but it definitely has its own unique charm that will make any outfit look fabulous! From simple designs to intricate patterns and shapes, there are plenty of ways to express yourself with this versatile material — so the possibilities are truly endless! Whether you’re looking for something subtle or something bolder, there’s an aluminum piece out there just waiting to be discovered.

Affordability

If you're looking for affordable jewelry that won't break the bank, aluminum jewelry is a great option to consider. Compared to other popular metals like gold, silver, and platinum, aluminum is much more affordable while still offering a sleek and modern look.

While sterling silver jewelry has been a popular choice for years, it is often more expensive than aluminum due to the higher cost of the metal itself. Additionally, sterling silver jewelry requires regular polishing to prevent tarnish, while aluminum jewelry does not tarnish easily thanks to the thin oxide film that forms on its surface over time.

One of the best things about aluminum jewelry is that it comes in a wide variety of styles and designs. From simple and understated pieces to bold statement pieces with intricate details, there's an aluminum piece out there for every taste and budget.

Hypoallergenic Properties

Are you someone who loves wearing jewelry but has to avoid certain metals due to skin allergies? Do you wish there was a way to express yourself through jewelry without any allergic reactions? The answer may be in hypoallergenic aluminum jewelry. Let's take a look at why this type of jewelry might be a perfect fit for you!

Aluminum is an excellent choice for those with metal allergies because it is non-reactive and does not corrode. Aluminum is also lightweight, making it comfortable to wear all day long. Additionally, aluminum does not contain any lead or nickel which are two common causes of skin irritation from jewelry.

Hypoallergenic aluminum jewelry offers an array of stylish designs that can enhance your look while still keeping your skin safe. You can choose from classic styles like bangles or go bold with statement necklaces or earrings. For the more adventurous fashionista, there are also available pieces made out of color-coated anodized aluminum which adds an extra pop of pizzazz to any outfit.

The best part about hypoallergenic aluminum jewelry is that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg like gold or silver pieces do. This makes it easier for anyone to afford beautiful jewelry pieces that won't irritate their skin. Plus, if you take care of your pieces properly, they can last a lifetime! Investing in the right piece now could save you from having to buy new ones every few years due to metal allergies.

Versatility

Aluminum jewelry also comes in a variety of colors and designs so you can find something that suits your style no matter what the occasion may be. Whether you want something bold and colorful or subtle and stylish, there are countless options available with aluminum jewelry so you can mix and match pieces to create your own unique look every day. Plus, since it doesn’t cost too much compared to other metals like silver or gold, it makes for an affordable yet fashionable way to accessorize any outfit!

Aluminum jewelry has many benefits that make it the perfect accessory for women who want something lightweight yet durable with hypoallergenic properties. From its versatility in terms of color and design to its affordability compared to other precious metals, there’s no denying that aluminum jewelry will add some sparkle to any outfit! So if you’re looking for an accessory that won't weigh you down while still providing maximum impact on your style quotient – then opt for an elegant piece of aluminum jewelry today!

FAQ's

Is Aluminum Jewelry Toxic to Wear?

If you're considering purchasing aluminum jewelry, you may be wondering whether it's safe to wear. The good news is that aluminum is generally considered safe for use in jewelry making. In fact, it's a popular choice among jewelry designers due to its lightweight and hypoallergenic properties.

Aluminum is a non-toxic metal that is commonly used in food packaging and cooking utensils. It's also used in medical implants and devices, which demonstrates its safety for use in contact with the human body.

According to CDC, aluminum jewelry is generally safe to wear as aluminum is a non-toxic metal and is hypoallergenic. Unlike other metals, such as cadmium and lead, aluminum does not react to sweat or penetrate the skin in large amounts, posing little to no risk of toxicity or irritation. Additionally, aluminum jewelry is often free of nickel, which is a most common metal allergen for many people. However, it's important to note that some people may have an allergic reaction to aluminum. If you have sensitive skin or a history of metal allergies, it's best to test the jewelry on a small area of skin before wearing it regularly.

Can You Shower With Aluminum Jewelry?

Yes, you can definitely shower with aluminum jewelry! Unlike other metals that may rust or tarnish when exposed to water, aluminum is a very light metal that does not corrode or break easily either. In fact, a few millimeters of aluminum oxide protect the metal from further damage. So, whether you're wearing an aluminum bracelet or necklace, you don't have to worry about taking it off before hopping in the shower.

However, it's important to note that while aluminum jewelry is safe to wear in the shower, it's not recommended to expose it to soap and for extended periods of time. This can cause damage to the metal over time and may lead to discoloration or other issues. So, while it's fine to wear your favorite aluminum pieces in the shower occasionally, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure.

If you're looking for more information on caring for your aluminum jewelry, a care card on how to restore your aluminum jewelry to its original shine and luster is included with each purchase.

Does Wearing Aluminum Jewelry Cause Alzheimer's?

Alzheimer's disease is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. There has been much debate about the link between aluminum metal and Alzheimer's, with some studies suggesting that exposure to high levels of aluminum may increase the risk of developing the disease. But what about wearing aluminum jewelry?

While there is no conclusive evidence that wearing aluminum jewelry causes Alzheimer's, it is important to note that aluminum can be absorbed through the skin. This means that if you wear aluminum jewelry for extended periods, you may be exposing yourself to higher levels of the metal than you would through other sources.

It is also worth noting that some people may be more sensitive to aluminum than others. If you have a family history of Alzheimer's or have concerns about your exposure to aluminum, it may be best to avoid wearing aluminum jewelry altogether.

If you do choose to wear aluminum jewelry, it is important to take steps to minimize your exposure to most metals. This can include choosing pieces that are coated or treated to reduce the amount of metal that comes into contact with your skin, as well as limiting the amount of time you wear them.

Ultimately, while there is no clear link between wearing aluminum jewelry and Alzheimer's disease, it is important to be mindful of your exposure and take steps to protect yourself if necessary.

Final Thoughts

With its intricate designs, vibrant colors, and unique shapes, the John S Brana Aluminum Jewelry Collection is sure to make any woman feel beautiful and elegant when wearing these pieces out on the town or simply enjoying them at home while relaxing in comfort and style.
