✨ Jewelry Care Tips for Your Brass Beauties ✨
Give ’Em a Polish Party
Brass loves a little shine time! Gently buff with a soft polishing cloth to keep that golden glow. For extra sparkle, mix a pinch of baking soda with lemon juice, dab it on, rinse, and dry—like a mini spa day for your earrings.Avoid the Splash Zone
These earrings are stylish, not swimmers. Take them off before showering, swimming, or dancing in the rain—brass and moisture are not besties.Last On, First Off
Put your earrings on after hairspray, perfume, or lotion—let them be the grand finale of your look, not the opening act.Tuck Them in at Night
Store them in a dry spot, like a jewelry box or pouch, away from sunlight and humidity. Bonus: it keeps them from going on wild adventures without you.Handle with Love
The gemstones may be tough, but they're still precious! Avoid tossing your earrings in bags or pockets—treat them like the tiny art pieces they are.
Not all gold is created equal—and if you've ever wondered what "gold filled" or "vermeil" actually means, this one's for you. I put together a quick, visual guide to demystify the terms you see when shopping for gold jewelry.
At Found & Feral, I work mostly with gold-filled wire (for its durability and beauty), gold-plated earring hooks with a stainless steel base, and stainless steel studs. I also use hammered and stamped brass to add warmth and texture to each piece.
Everything I make is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive ears—so you can wear it daily, comfortably, and confidently. I hope this guide helps you feel more informed as you choose pieces you love.
