All jewelry by The UMI Collective is crafted using solid brass, bronze, or copper—metals chosen for their ability to age beautifully and develop a natural patina over time.
Our brass is left unplated so it can develop the rich patina that has made this metal beloved for centuries. Each piece will age uniquely with its wearer, becoming more beautiful with time. Because brass is a natural metal, some wearers may notice a harmless skin tint depending on their individual body chemistry, moisture, or heat.

Many pieces in the UMI Collective are vintage or antique and may show gentle signs of age and use. These small imperfections are part of the charm and history of each piece. We do our best to photograph and describe items accurately so you know exactly what you’re receiving.
