Why We Choose Brass
Materials We Use: Real Gold, Gold-Plated, or Brass?
When it comes to jewelry, the materials used matter just as much as the design. They affect the look, feel, durability, price, and overall experience of wearing a piece.
At Hinkik Jewelry, many customers ask:
What materials do we use? And why do we primarily work with brass?
Let us walk you through it.
Common Metals in Jewelry: What’s the Difference?
Real Gold (Solid Gold)
Beautiful, timeless, and tarnish-resistant. Real gold holds long-term value and never goes out of style.
However, it's also expensive—especially for larger pieces—and softer than other metals, making it better suited for smaller, more delicate designs.
Gold-Plated Jewelry
This involves coating a base metal (like copper or stainless steel) with a thin layer of gold. It’s more affordable and gives a luxurious look.
But for handmade jewelry with intricate details, plating can be tricky and tends to wear off over time, especially with frequent use.
Brass
Warm, golden-toned, durable, and highly moldable—brass is ideal for handmade jewelry.
It allows us to create larger, more detailed designs without excessive weight or cost. With proper finishing and anti-tarnish coating, brass jewelry remains beautiful for years.
Why We Choose Brass
At Hinkik Jewelry, we specialize in handcrafted designs that are rich in detail, sometimes bold in size, and full of personality.
Brass gives us the freedom to:
-
Unleash creativity without limitation
-
Craft statement pieces that are still lightweight and affordable
-
Offer high-quality handmade designs at a price that's accessible to everyone
It’s the perfect balance of beauty, function, and value.
Caring for Your Brass Jewelry
With just a little care, your brass jewelry can stay as lovely as the day you received it:
-
Store in a dry place away from humidity, perfume, and chemicals
-
Wipe gently with a soft cloth after use
-
If tarnish appears, use a jewelry polishing cloth to restore the shine
-
Keep separate from other jewelry to avoid scratches
Our Belief
“A good piece of jewelry combines thoughtful design, the right materials, and a price you can feel good about.”
Every piece from Hinkik Jewelry is not just an accessory—it’s a wearable work of art, handcrafted for your everyday moments.
