Common questions
Before you write
Is this real gold?
No. Our pieces are made from a brass base with a hand-polished gold-tone finish. This means they have the warmth and lustre of gold without the weight or the cost of solid precious metal. The finish is applied by hand, piece by piece, and checked before every piece leaves the bench.
What does "gold-tone" mean?
Gold-tone is a hand-applied finish over a brass base. The base gives the piece its weight and structure; the finish gives it its colour and warmth. The value is in the design, the hand-setting, and the attention at every step, not in the weight of the metal.
Will the gold tone fade or tarnish?
With regular wear and basic care, the finish will hold its colour for years. Gold-tone does not tarnish the way silver does — it does not oxidise or turn green. A few small habits make the difference: wipe the piece with a soft, dry cloth after wearing, remove it before swimming or bathing, and store it in its own pouch.
Do you offer re-plating?
Yes, for every piece we make, for as long as you own it. If the finish softens with years of wear, write to us at hello@anreena.co.uk with a photo of the piece. We will re-plate it by hand and send it back to you.
