ABOUT THE PIECES
Why do you work in brass?
Brass dates back to 3500 BC. It is historically significant in the development of civilization. I was drawn to brass because many contemporary sculptors use it, not only for art but also for handcrafted jewelry. While it's not considered a precious metal, it has a unique luster that is similar to gold when polished. It is both rich and humble.
Does your jewelry contain nickel and what is a nickel allergy?
Our jewelry is nickel-free. Many people break out in a rash in response to nickel.
What materials do you use?
Our pieces are crafted with brass, precious stones, shells, and antique beads. All handmade in Mexico, lovingly wrapped and ready to give as a gift.
Depending on the pH of your skin, brass may leave blue-green stains on the skin that are easily removed and should not be considered an allergic reaction.
Are your parts plated?
No.
Do you offer repairs?
Yes. We are happy to repair or refurbish any design. We want you to enjoy wearing our pieces. Email us at ventas@olgaprieto.com and we will send you instructions on how to return your jewelry to our studio. There is no charge for repairs.
