Why Choose a Handmade Brass Ring?

Brass has a warm tone that looks good on all skin tones. It’s also durable, affordable, and gets better with age. But not all brass rings are the same. A handmade ring carries the mark of the person who shaped it. You get small details, subtle imperfections, and thoughtful design choices you won't find in mass-produced jewelry (ring).

If you’re looking for ring gifts that feel personal and are easy to wear daily, brass delivers.

• What Makes a Gift Feel Thoughtful?

It’s not about how much you spend. It’s about the effort behind it. Choosing a handmade brass ring shows you picked something that wasn’t mass-produced. You chose a material that feels warm, wears well, and carries a story. These aren’t accessories you grab last-minute, they look and feel intentional.

Care Tips for Brass Rings

Brass is easy to care for, but it does need a little attention. If you want to keep your ring bright:

• Wipe it down after wear (especially on humid days)
• Use a polishing cloth or mild lemon+baking soda paste if it dulls
• Store it in a dry place

Some people love how brass darkens naturally. It adds character. Others prefer to keep it shiny. Either way, your ring will age in a way that reflects you.

FAQs About Handmade Brass Rings

Are these rings nickel-free?

Yes. All Ecodunia brass rings are nickel-free and made without harmful additives. They're safe for most skin types, including people with mild metal sensitivities.

Can men wear brass rings, or are they just for women?

Brass rings are unisex. The styles we’ve selected are gender-inclusive, meaning they suit both men and women. Many men prefer the earthy tone and weight of brass—it feels grounded and natural without being flashy.

How do I adjust the ring size without damaging it?

Gently press the ends of the ring inward or outward using both thumbs. Do this slowly to avoid bending the brass too sharply. If you need a tighter or looser fit, repeat the process gradually. These rings are meant to flex slightly, but avoid over-adjusting them frequently.

What’s the difference between a cast ring and a handmade one?

Cast rings are poured into molds and mass-produced. Handmade rings, like the ones from Ecodunia, are shaped and finished by artisans. You’ll see and feel the difference—subtle marks, slight texture variations, and a more personal design character.

Where are these rings made, and who makes them?

All the rings featured here are handmade by Kenyan artisans who work under fair trade conditions. Ecodunia partners directly with makers, ensuring ethical pay, safe working environments, and traditional craft preservation.
