Violet Oxide Patina Effects Kit

Vintaj natural brass is 100% solid brass, 85% copper, 15% zinc, with no plating, no coating, and no chemical treatment applied. Each piece goes through a 7-stage hand-finishing process that gives it a rich caramel tone identical to genuine vintage brass.



It is nickel-free and lead-free compliant. Because there's no plating to wear off, the finish holds through everyday wear and develops character over time rather than peeling or discolouring.

Vintaj is designed, stamped, and finished in the USA. The findings are struck from solid brass sheets using original vintage tooling, the whole process happens domestically. This isn't a brand that sources overseas and repackages in the USA. If you sell your jewelry and your customers ask where the components came from, the answer is straightforward: made in the USA.

Every product image is shot in natural daylight against a neutral background with a scale reference. Colour accuracy is treated as a functional requirement, not an aesthetic choice, we know that a mismatch between photo and product is the fastest way to lose a customer's trust permanently.



Slight variation may occur on different screens due to display calibration, which is why we include a colour note on products where this is relevant. If what you receive doesn't match what you ordered, email customercare@vintaj.com.

Three different effects, three different tools. 

Vintaj Antique Glaze is a one-step antiquing medium that settles into recessed detail to instantly create aged depth.



Vintaj Ultimate Enamel Paint is an opaque, permanent color ideal for painting raised details, adding bold accents, and creating the look of fired enamel.



Vintaj Ultimate Stain is a translucent color wash that enhances texture and creates layered, weathered effects while allowing the underlying surface detail to show through.

Yes. Vintaj has a dedicated wholesale portal at wholesale.vintaj.com for resellers and small businesses. To register you'll need a tax ID number or certificate of business. The minimum opening order is $100.



Wholesale pricing gives you the margin you need to answer your own customers' questions about sourcing with confidence — because when they ask where your components came from, you'll have a real answer.

Most jewelry components you'll find online are plated to the industry standard of 0.2 to 1.0 mil, which is why gold finishes turn brassy and copper coatings flake within weeks of regular wear. Vintaj uses a 3 to 5 mil plating standard, making every plated finding 3 to 5 times more durable than what you'll find from most suppliers.

That difference is why our plated findings hold their finish through everyday wear, shaping, and forming without cracking or peeling. It's the highest industry standard of plating available, and it's applied to every plated item in our catalog, from 10K Gold and Sterling Silver to Copper Antique, Brass Antique, and Pewter Antique finishes.
