Natural Bronze Three Peas in a Pod Charm. Three little peas cuddle close to each other wrapped within the safety of their pod. This sweet charm has many wonderful connotations, like the closeness of families, sisters and brothers, and best friends. ✅Our bronze is imported from Italy and is a high quality alloy of copper and tin. Our Thai bronze has an anti-tarnish compound mixed into the metal alloy that will delay but not eliminate eventual oxidation. ✅Measurements (inches): Length: 0.79 Width: 0.20 Height: 0.20 Cast and hand finished in Thailand. ✅If you are looking for an alternative to gold, I highly recommend natural bronze. It looks very similar and goes very well with gold filled chains. If I have my gold plated charm next to a natural bronze charm, I am able to distinguish the two. But, if I see the bronze charm alone, I have to take a second look. For that reason, al of my natural bronze pieces have ND stamped on the back which stands for "No Doubt"! I want you to have no doubt that this is natural bronze! ✅Caring For Your Natural Bronze Jewelry: Natural Bronze will oxidize over time, turning a darker, more muted color. Some designers prefer this darker, aged color as it adds character to the metal. To maintain a shiny bright finish for as long a possible, store your bronze away from the air in a ziplock plastic bag, and keep it as dry as possible. Do not wear in the shower or store in a humid environment. All metals, including bronze, silver and gold, can react to beauty and cleaning products. Avoid contact as much as possible with perfumes, hairsprays, lotions and household cleaners. If you like a high shine, you may prefer using a commercial metal cleaner specifically formulated for bronze or brass.
