BRASS vs. BRONZE
BETTER IN BRONZE
At YSSO, we are team bronze or bust. As far as metals go, bronze stands out not just for its beauty, but for its strength, durability, and timeless elegance. Where other brands use brass, our jewellery is made from up to 35% recyclable and natural bronze, double plated with 18 and 24 karat gold. Below, learn why bronze is our metal of choice — and should be yours, too.
Strength and Durability
Jewellery is made to last, and bronze excels in this department. It’s sturdier and more resistant to wear than brass, making it ideal for pieces that need to stand the test of time.
Timeless Appeal
Bronze ages beautifully, developing a natural patina that deepens its character. Brass — a mix of copper and zinc — tends to tarnish more quickly, requiring more upkeep to maintain its shine.
Skin-Friendly
For those with sensitive skin, bronze is often a better choice. While brass can sometimes cause irritation due to its zinc content, bronze’s composition is generally gentler on the skin.
