Why choose rhodium-plated brass?

• A brilliance that lasts over time

Rhodium is a rare and precious metal, known for its exceptional brilliance and resistance to oxidation.
When applied to brass, it creates a protective layer that prevents the jewelry from tarnishing, blackening, or discoloring over time.
The result: a luminous, almost mirror-like shine that remains intact even after years.

• A sustainable and responsible alternative

Choosing rhodium-plated brass is also making an environmentally friendly choice.
Brass is a recyclable material, made from an alloy of copper and zinc, two metals that can be reused indefinitely without loss of quality.
By adding a thin layer of rhodium, you get a piece of jewelry that is both resistant, elegant and more durable than classic plating.

Unlike solid silver or gold, whose extraction has a strong ecological impact, rhodium-plated brass reduces the carbon footprint while offering a luxurious and durable finish.

• Hypoallergenic and comfortable to wear

Thanks to the rhodium layer, these jewels are hypoallergenic : they do not cause skin reactions and are perfectly suited to sensitive skin.
They are also waterproof , making them perfect for everyday use without having to remove them in the shower, at the beach or at the gym.

• A modern and ethical choice

Rhodium-plated brass is part of a new vision of jewelry: pieces that are accessible, durable and made with awareness.
It's a balance between beauty, practicality and responsibility, a way to consume more intelligently, without sacrificing elegance.
