Vintaj Natural Brass Story
Vintaj Natural Brass Company was formed by three women in Galena, Illinois, after sisters Wendy Mullane and Jeanne Holland were creatively inspired during a jewelry design class they were leading. Jess Italia-Lincoln offers a flair for design as well, and completes this team that brings distinctive, natural brass products with a timeless appeal. These products are 100% natural brass findings and charms, treated in an eco-friendly process to bring out rich, aged color. They can be grouped and used as accents in thousands of ways. Many women sensitive to other metals made with nickel find that they can wear this brass quite comfortably. Vintaj is also lead-free compliant.
These designs are often inspired by Nature itself – delicate shapes, like dragonflies and lacey, leafy filigree add an organic, earth-finish to handmade accessories. Vintaj’s unique qualities include a rich, distinctive color (identical to vintage brass), intricate detail, fine-lined etching, and bold, raised- relief design. This line of brass product proves itself a great complement to a variety of stones and textured metals, and blends comfortably with a variety of cording as well as chain.
