Vintaj findings: natural brass jewelry components at Rings & Things

We’ve fallen in love with Vintaj. It’s not just that this is a well-known name you can trust. It also has to do with the strikingly high quality of these “natural brass” findings. And the ingenious, carefully worked-out designs

I just have to focus in on a big favorite of mine. (Out of dozens of Vintaj items we’ve added!) There are a number of filigree beads they make that open up like petals, and close again if you want. Imagine the different ways you could use this and similar beads:

Surf the link at the top of this article to be treated to more great brass than a marching band.

And by the way, we’re adding exclusive designs using Vintaj items in our Design Gallery, so a search there will be rewarding too.

    I love brass — and patinated brass even more — so of cause I have more than one favourite. I’ve got loads of Vintaj favourites that I’m just dying to buy. I like versatile findings and components. Vintaj altered blanks and “petal” filigrees are great examples of that. And so is the Deco Filigree that can be used whole or cut apart.
    One thing I like about Vintaj is that they have so many pieces with motifs from nature — my no. 1 source of inspiration. The romantic within me loves all the swallows, leaves, scrolls, vines, ferns and flowers. All with that lovely aged look given by the patina.
    On my list of Vintaj products to buy are e.g. rivets and altered canvases. As I love the altered blanks I just have to try the “bigger size blanks” too.

    Nice jewelry tip there, Maneki — use a deco filigree entire, or cut it apart. Thanks for that!
