Until recently, I always thought of brass as bad. It seemed cheap, shticky, too shiny and all things yuck. That is, until I discovered REAL brass- brass that's raw, untouched and natural, that looks aged and antiqued, that's earthy and hearty and appears to hold a story of some sort. Upon that discovery, I may now even venture to say that this kind of brass is my favorite metal of all- the perfect color to complement any skin tone and, more importantly, a wide array of colorful gemstones, like in these pieces by Vintaj:
Vintaj is also a supplier of this beautiful, 100% natural brass with an etsy shop to show off and sell all the wonderful, colorful creations they create with it. There's much more to see in the shop- find your perfect color there!
Brass is really wonderful - not sticky at all. But yes, one tends to think of sticky old and unpolished banisters and door bell plates...well, no more, thanks to all the brass goodness out there! Vintaj has been also one of my Etsy favourites.
