A Note on Bronze and Skin Discoloration

Let’s be real – bronze can turn your skin green. But it’s not toxic or dangerous. It’s just oxidation, and it happens when bronze reacts with sweat, soap, lotion, or sunscreen.

Some people don’t get the discoloration at all. Others do. Either way:

• It’s totally harmless
• It washes off with regular soap and water
• It may even be absorbed by your body overnight

So if you're thinking, "But what if it stains?" — don’t worry. That’s just part of the charm of real bronze. And nope, no refunds will be given for this natural reaction.

Why Bronze?

Bronze jewelry has been worn for thousands of years. There’s something honest and earthy about it. And it develops a natural patina over time, which means it tells your story the more you wear it.

Why Choose John S. Brana?

Let’s be honest – you can grab jewelry from anywhere. But John’s work is different. Every piece is made by hand, with metal that's been melted, shaped, and chased the old-fashioned way.

No casting. No plating. No shortcuts.

You're getting real jewelry made by a real person who actually cares about how it feels on your wrist. Plus, everything is made from recycled metals sourced in the U.S.

That’s good for your style and the planet.
