What is Base Metal?

You’ve probably heard of our wonderful base metal jewelry supplies, but do you know what they’re made of? Here’s a quick definition of base metal, pulled from our Glossary in the Learning Center:

Base metal is metal that oxidizes easily when exposed to air or moisture. These metals are more common than precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum, and thus are more widely used when making jewelry supplies. Base metal gets its name because it is often the type of material which precious metal is bonded to. Base metals include aluminum, brass, copper and nickel.

Browse through our collection of base metal jewelry components and add these great staples to your collection. If you want to learn more about beading basics, brush up with our beading glossary in the Learning Center. You can even make a cool base metal design like our Cheetah Chain Belt!

    The Xbox 360 is not natively backwards-compatible with original Xbox games (due to the
    differing system architectures) and so backwards-compatibility is achieved through an emulator designed
    by Microsoft.

    I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else
    encountering issues with your site. It appears as if some of the written text within your posts are running off the
    screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is
    happening to them too? This may be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve
    had this happen before. Cheers

    this topic. You know so much its almost tough to argue with you (not
    that I actually will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh spin on a subject that has been written about for many years.
