Copper, brass and bronza take on patina beautifully in nature when it is exposed to the elements of rain and moisture. This natural process can be accelerated by using natural household ingredients, usually vinegar, ammonia and salt. Colors and patterns on each piece will vary depending on the products used, method of application and length of time exposed. This process can take anywhere from a couple of days to a week. The charms are rinsed, dried and finally coated with a clear coat to seal in the patina. Colors and patterns using each process will vary, making each piece……. truly one-of-a-kind. It is a method to create beautiful natural artistic jewelry.
