Here’s a closer look at the art behind these beautiful pieces and the appeal they bring to your style.

What Are Brass Stampings?

Brass stampings are thin sheets of brass that have been carefully pressed, or "stamped," into intricate shapes and designs. Using vintage and modern molds, each stamping is crafted to bring out fine details, making these pieces wonderfully ornate. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is valued for its warm golden hue, which lends a classic feel to jewellery.

The Artistic Craftsmanship of Brass Stampings

The process of creating brass stampings is an art form in itself. Skilled artisans select designs, from floral motifs to geometric shapes, and press brass sheets into these molds, capturing delicate details that elevate each piece. These stampings are often left in their natural, warm brass colour, or may be plated for a shinier finish.

Each pair of brass-stamped earrings in our collection is a true vintage piece, sourced from a retired jewellery wholesaler. These unique designs capture the elegance of past eras while fitting beautifully into today’s fashion. With a touch of history and timeless appeal, these pieces are ready to add a vintage charm to your style

Why Brass Stampings? The Appeal of Brass in Jewellery

  1. Unique Character

  2. Versatile Aesthetic
    Brass stampings offer versatility, from minimalist designs to bold, ornate patterns. Whether you prefer understated elegance or statement pieces, brass adapts to various styles. Its warm tone complements all skin tones, making it ideal for daily wear or special occasions.
  3. Durable and Lightweight
    Brass stampings are not only visually appealing but also practical. The material is durable and resists tarnishing, yet remains light enough for comfortable, all-day wear. Each pair of earrings offers the perfect balance of beauty and functionality.
