brass jewelry

Copper-zinc alloy adornments

Brass jewelry is decorative items—rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings—made from brass, an alloy of copper and zinc.

Brass offers a gold-like appearance at lower cost, though it may tarnish or leave green marks on skin.

The term encompasses both mass-produced fashion pieces and artisan metalwork: She makes brass jewelry to sell at craft fairs.
