About my Brass Ox Materials

For a year now,I have been selling on-line,aside from people I met and "ka-text marathon",I'm learning some new valuable lessons.

If you read my product description,you'd read these words "brass ox","antiqued brass","oxidized" with a few idea of what they really are.

I prefer these popular finish on my pieces as cameos and lockets are reminiscent of the Victorian era and all other period thats comes after.Vintage and vintage-style jewelleries are not the sparkly bright yellow gold that we are so familiar with in our lifetime.
SECOND,oxidized supplies WON'T change their color for a long time!10K does!
THIRD,its keeps the price down without sacrificing quality,as you might notice my brass ox components are beautifully detailed and solid brass from charms to jump rings !SO we can enjoy these timeless,classics without sacrificing our kids tuitions,and still be able to enjoy them years from now.

So what is ox,oxidised?OX is the industry abbreviation for oxidized.This means that raw brass components are plated with a rich aged patina,then an antique(oxidized) finish is then applied which has a wonderful vintage appearance.A last layer of non-shiny protective -finish is applied to allow the items to LOOK GREAT for years to come without turning skin " GREEN".

I buy my supplies from this wonderful family-owned business,who according to their FAQ's page,provides "the highest quality brass base metal findings & stampings made in the USA and Europe.There plating company is the same one used by the US Navy,Chicos,The Limited and the PGA".

There is no Lead in brass nor is there any used in the plating process of the items you buy here,unless otherwise noted in the ad.


As to caring for your brass ox/silver oxidized jewelleries,just do as you would with other treasured jewelries you have,wipe clean and keep in a box,dont wear them when bathing or swimming and/or spray w/ perfumes.

So please read the description on each photo,coz I really do take time to write about each item,so you will know what you are buying and not just attracted to the the beautiful photos.

Thank you for taking time reading.
