BRASS
We have found Brass to be an ideal metal for rings as it boasts an attractive golden look, without any fading. A quick polish of your brass KKJ rings will effortlessly restore their stunning, shiny gold appearance.
Brass may contain a small amount of copper that can oxidize with humidity, and accelerate when it comes into contact with water or sweat. Therefore, it can cause discoloration on the skin. This is completely normal; is non-toxic and harmless. Due to each person having different PH skin acidity and sweat levels, some people may experience this more than others; or not at all.

If you would like to clean your brass jewellery, it can be simply polished up using brass cleaning products (please try to keep away from crystals when polishing).
Please note- laser engraving can fade over time, if your pieces are not being removed at all.
We suggest removing your jewellery with showering, swimming + exercising to ensure the longevity of your pieces.
