Also called "yellow copper," it is a very common alloy in jewelry making. Composed of copper and zinc, it has long been used in various fields because it has the advantage of not causing allergies, being very easy to work with, and being extremely resistant to corrosion. It is often compared to gold with its yellow color, sometimes tending towards pink because it is the only one to best imitate it while being the least expensive. That is why it is very often used in jewelry and has become a very trendy material.

It is recommended to regularly clean your brass jewelry. If they are raw and unplated, you can protect them with a thin layer of polyurethane varnish that will protect the metal against oxidation and tarnishing. However, if you want to give it a vintage look, you can let the piece become matte over time.

Alloy of zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and copper. It is an extremely resistant material often used for belt buckles, clasps, and all technical parts requiring great strength. Moreover, it is not attracted to magnets, which is why it is often used for magnetic clasps.

It is used in molding, so it is very difficult to obtain thin pieces or with very precise details. 

It is increasingly used because it is resistant to scratches and breakage. It also offers the advantage of being 100% recyclable, with low energy consumption.

Check the length by placing the thread in front of the bib before continuing with the gray ones just before the first hole.

 To facilitate threading the second thread (the shorter one), tie a knot with the two nylon threads to block the smaller one.

Continue threading the sequins...

You will place the gray washers symmetrically at the two connection holes.

Then place the crimp bead, then the hexagon ring, and pass back through the bead and the washers up to the gray ones.

Pull on the thread to bring the hexagon to the edge of the washers and the crimp bead.

Flatten it with flat pliers.

To secure the work, make a double knot with the thread between the gray washers, then cut the excess thread.

To connect the washers to the bib:

Open an 8mm ring and place it in the center of the gray washers.

Position the bib on the ring before closing it.

Do the same on the other side.

Then place a bit of strong glue on the edge of the bib and position the washers.

Be careful not to use too much glue and wait for it to dry completely before handling.

Cut two pieces of chain about 5cm long.

Attach them to the bib with 5mm rings.

At the bottom of the chains, place the drop pendants with 4mm rings.

Attach another piece of chain to the hexagon with a 4mm ring.

Keep a chain piece long enough to adjust the length on you.

Once the desired length is reached, cut off the excess chain and cut the chain in the center.

Next, connect the second piece on the other side.

To finish, attach the lobster clasp with a 4mm ring.

At the other end of the chain, place a single ring where the clasp will attach.

And there you go!
