LEMAK jewelry embraces a Japanese aesthetic approach to design. Each piece is finished by hand, so no two items will ever look identical. Patinas on sterling and brass items are hand-applied and will naturally change with time causing a darkening (oxidation) of the surface. We encourage you to use a soft polishing cloth to bring out the highlights on the surface allowing for the shadows to remain around the detail. This creates a lovely antique effect that respects the nature of the metal and acknowledges the beauty in imperfection.
