The catalogue
Brass
Brass and plated brass: coin charms, spacers and findings. Every listing states whether the piece is solid brass, gold-plated or silver-plated, and what the plating sits on.Brass darkens with wear. Plating wears first at the edges. Both are stated per item, along with the country of manufacture.
On disclosure: natural, dyed and synthetic are stated on every card and again on the product page, alongside origin. Where a piece is plated rather than solid, the base metal is named.
