Overview
Bronze is typically used as a casting material, as it is quite difficult to shape by hand due to its toughness. Nowadays, bronze is most commonly used for art and decorative objects.
Cleaning
Clean jewellery with lukewarm water and use mild dish soap (which has a neutral pH). You can use a new, clean toothbrush.
After washing jewellery, dry it carefully with a clean, lint-free cloth.
If bronze is exposed to moisture or water for prolonged periods, it may develop a patina.
Storage
Store jewellery separately from other pieces to help prevent scratches.
Keep the jewellery in its original box or another clean jewellery box. Alternatively, wrap it in a clean, lint-free cloth and place it in an airtight bag.
It is recommended to remove bronze jewellery before handling chemicals or cleaning products.
Prosessing
Recycling
Bronze can be recycled by melting it down and reusing the material to create new objects or for other purposes.
Stone Setting
Bronze is not commonly used for gemstone settings because its toughness makes it more difficult to work with than traditional jewellery metals.
