Many of you love copper. Others like me prefer brass. Both are wonderful as jewelry supplies. Brass in particular is a good stand-in for gold. Both can take on patinas for beautifully unique results.

Then head on over to UrbanroseSupplies for some of the most gorgeous solid copper and brass supplies I have come across. Shown here is only a small collection. They are excellent for jumpstarting your creativity. 

The New York based jewelry designer, urbanrose, explains :
All of my brass stampings & findings are 100% made in the USA. Rest assured that the brass is nickel, lead & cadmium free. In it's natural state, brass, an alloy of copper & zinc, is a golden yellow in color and will gradually show an aged 'patina' over time. All pieces suitable for plating, enameling, patinas, etc.
