Regal Medieval crown is handmade with brass sheet and brass wire. She has been worked to give her a pattern similar to stone. She stands about 2 1/2 inches tall and is approx 6 across with points across the top and can be worn atop the head or like a head band. Please Note that some combs, hair pins and some crowns are rough soldered By design and have been worked over by a cutting wheel then sanded. The solder is silver solder and lead free. The work done that way creates a texture to the metal, marks Do show, the solder shows, and is Not by accident. It creates what I call my "caveman style" and are not bright shiny smooth but have a softer shine and softer feel to the metal. Because these are hand made there will be slight variations to each piece. # Item care # I do not coat crowns, hair items or other jewelry with lacquer or other chemicals. They are raw metals. They can be polished with a metal cleaner or dropped in some lemon juice for a bit, toothbrush and toothpaste also polish well, don't forget to rinse or you can turn your goodies green. You may also leave the piece alone and allow the metals to achieve a patina. Have more interesting items in the shop :) http://www.etsy.com/shop/wickedlywired
