Why Brass and How to Care for it

At Karoo Zen we make our own brass to ensure purity! We use pure copper and pure zinc and alchemize them to a brass that is about 66% copper and 34% zinc. We now also add a trace amount of magnesium for added health benefits and a little tarnish resistance.

Brass has been considered to have health benefits because copper and zinc are essential minerals for the body. It is believed that wearing brass assists in alleviating rheumatism, arthritis, headaches and joint pain.

Brass can be sealed but we don't do that because it would negate the benefits, also we like the look of antiqued brass. From time to time you may want to make your brass fresh and shiny again, you can do this by simply rubbing it on some cotton fabric! if it is very tarnished here is a quick video on how to clean it with a common nail buffer.
