You Can Get Stunning Results By
Layering &
Mixing Different Colors Of Brass.
In This Renaissance Sytle Set, I Used
Several Different Colors Of Brass. Czech
Glass Rhinestones And Beads Are My Pick For
Achieving An "Old World" Look. Imperfections
In The Beads
And/Or Stones Are Welcome As
They Really Add To The Old World Look :) In This Set I Combined Old Natural Patina Brass With My Aged Patina (Darker
Tone) Brass To Create Added Dimension.

Get This Beautiful Mulit-Brown Tone By Finishing Your Aged Brass
With Minwax Walnut Gel Stain (available at walmart and most paint/hardware stores). It's A Great Finish! It Not Only Adds
To The Beauty But Also Provides A Protective Finish. All In One Easy Step :)). Be Sure To Assemble (Glue Together) All Of
Your Pieces Before Appling The Stain. Most Of The Findings Used
In This Brooche Are From My Aged Patina Brass Collection. Great For Refinishing! Just Buff The Aged Brass With X-Fine
Steel Wool To Expose Lighter Tone Highlights Before Appling The Stain!

Renaissance Style Jewelry Is So Fun To Make! This Piece Was Made From Old
Brass (Naturally Aged Patina). It's Like Putting Together A Puzzle...Just Keep Trying Different Pieces Until They "Fit". Get Yourself
An Assortment Of Brass Pieces And Go For It. They Make Great Conversation Pieces & Wall Art And You Never Know When You
Might Want To Go To The Renaissance Festival :)) Please Click On The AGED PATINA BRASS Page (Upper Right Of This Page) For Tips
On Finishing Aged Brass And For Links To My Online Store If You Would Like To Buy Limited Edition Aged Brass
That I Personally Hand Oxidize From My Studio In Arizona :)))

In this set I used top drilled 18X13 white
faceted pears wrapped in medium lace filigrees for the earrings and a 25X18 top drilled white faceted pear wrapped in a large
lace filigree for the pendant. The pink navettes are 15x7's. Notice how I folded a small lace filigree in half to create an
ornate bail (at the top of the pendant :)
