45x26mm Brass Filigree, Diamond (12 Pieces)

• Stamped charms are generally one-sided, and either flat or slightly domed.
• Size given is height x width and includes loop. Most loops are 0.8-1.2mm (inner diameter).
• Raw brass is unplated, plain brass that has been stamped out from a brass sheet on a punch press. Items are "rinsed" in a sheet of dry sawdust to remove grease left behind from the press.
• Raw brass charms sometimes have a thin coat of oil, so be sure to wash them before gluing. Warm water and detergent (dry to avoid water spots) or alcohol and a cotton ball will do the trick.
• To create an antiqued look on raw brass, apply an oxidizing solution.
• Raw brass is not quite as shiny as most plated finishes. To make your raw brass items shinier, tumble-polish them with steel shot, water and a burnishing compound in a rock tumbler.
