Why Bronze? Why Now?

Bronze has been having a moment lately. Actually, it’s always had a place in jewelry – but now it’s being styled in a fresher, more modern way. There’s something a little bold and a little earthy about it. Not too polished. Not too precious.

If you’re curious about bronze in general, you can check out the John S. Brana Bronze Jewelry Blog. There’s even a post about the timeless beauty of bronze in jewelry that’s worth a read.

Care Tips – Keep It Looking Great

So here's the thing about bronze. It will patina over time. That means it might darken or get a greenish tone depending on your skin. It's just what copper does when it lives its best life out in the world.

But if you want to bring back the shine?

  • Just use 0000 steel wool. That’s it.
  • You can do it as often or as little as you like.
  • Soap and water will take care of any skin discoloration.
