Eye-catching and bold. Our Huru necklace incorporates brass pieces and reclaimed and upcycled brown horn for the centre pieces; both materials have been hand-crafted and polished using traditional techniques in Kenya. The brass matches a yellow gold in colour and tone and we are proud to use recycled brass; it has been used for decades in Africa and is a sustainable alternative to gold - eliminating the need for mining. Wear alone for maximum impact. Your purchase encourages entrepreneurship and artisan expertise in Africa. Hand-crafted from 100% recycled brass, by artisans in Kenya." It is the nature of brass to evolve over time and some love this more antique look while others prefer the pieces to remain consistent - bright and polished. Clean unwanted tarnish and darker spots using the pro polish pad provided. Simply buff with the pad until the tarnish is lifted and the piece becomes shiny again. Over a longer period of time, we recommend using ‘Brasso’ - an affordable cleaning product found at most hardware shops and is excellent for removing stubborn marks and tarnish.
