Silver Plated Bronze

Bronze is a beautiful metal that has been around for thousands of years. Many people may be familiar with bronze in the form of large three dimensional sculptures, such as Rodin’s “The Thinker”. For jewelry, bronze is an affordable metal with a warm, rich color. Bronze is an alloy that consists of a mixture of copper and tin, approximately 90% copper and 10% tin. Producing bronze is a less toxic process than producing brass. Brass is a combination of copper and zinc, and the manufacturing process often produces zinc oxide which is toxic. Our natural bronze styles are solid bronze. Our silver plated bronze and gold plated bronze both have a solid core of bronze that is then plated in fine silver or in gold.
