Made Jewellery

Im sorry but this is over priced even more sadly so as I am sure those that make it get virtually nothing for their hard work.
Surely brass would reacte with the skin anyway
:devil:

I agree !, and brass would do my skin no favours at all :sad:

Well yes, it's a copper alloy so will start going green.....as will you once you've worn it for a bit! lol
It would have to be polished up & then varnished to prevent your skin & the air triggering off the verdigris process! :thinking2:

Not sure rainbow, they said it is 'fair trade', so I'm hoping the makers would have got their fair dues for it...

I agree that it is expensive though... Having said that, I like the nugget necklace and if anybody else is tempted, I have found it on this other site at half price:

I find myself a bit repulsed by the idea of 'bone'. I know it's a natural material, good use of something that would otherwise be thrown away, etc., so I'm sure it's completely irrational.

I feel the same AllThatGlitters. I inherited a Victorian bone flower brooch, it's very pretty but somehow just makes me shudder and I've never worn it.:sad:

OMG they the same price as suarti's!!! :11::11::11:

I agree, the designs in this range are nit bad, but those prices are hard to justify for brass and recycled materials, even with them being fair trade...

And Suarti's is sterling silver!

I feel the same.

I wanted to like it...and I mostly did as I love gold-tone jewellery.

But the prices...reduced by a third (at least) I may have gone for something. Funky and unusual, but the prices were rather silly. What a wasted effort. The guest looked very disappointed.

£37 for a BRASS bracelet?????
Oh come on???? Who the hell thought that was a good price even if it is fair trade. Some Oxfam shops also have fair trade jelwellery, but not for that much!

did you not notice that the postage was included in every item

It would take a lot more than free p&P to get me to spend that amount of money on brass jewellery!!!!

After seeing the little preview ad, I thought it looked a bit different and worth a look. I was very surprised at the prices as it will discolour and it's not even silver. I'm all for fair trade but I also expect fair prices.:sad:
