Specialty Finishes & Assortments

Give your jewelry creations just the right look — these special colors and finishes of jewelry components are perfect for mixed metals designs and much more! (If mixed metals is your style, you'll love our mixed metals findings assortments, too!) Antiqued copper, brass and bronze provide designs with rustic warmth. Gunmetal's popular black-nickel plating is perfect for everything from men's jewelry and Modern boldness to intricate neo-Victorian curves. Bright (no patina) copper is a classic, and antiqued gold gives just the right amount of bling! Antiqued components have had their surfaces oxidized to provide a patina—an attractive film that gives a great weathered, rugged or old-fashioned look. This patina is sometimes called "distressed" to reflect that it imitates natural surface changes on actual antiques.
