Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, often used ornamentally for its warm golden tones reminiscent of the more prized gold. Not only can it be a fun alternative to shiny gold, but aged and vintage brass possesses a lovely, earthy patina that I happen to adore. Because of its affordability for costume jewelry, it is commonly used in castings, findings and chain. Stepping beyond that, talented metal forgers and designers can achieve sublime results using brass as the primary medium or a secondary component, as illustrated by the selections in today's showcase of Etsy jewelry designers.

I have always loved the warmth of brass and these artists are really inspiring. The bullets and crystals just amazed me and the hammered necklace intrigued me. I visited the shops and found many more awesome designs from these artists. Great collection!
