White bronze rosary parts are finally here! Many of you may be wondering what that is. White Bronze is not actually Bronze though both are metal alloys. The recipes are different. White Bronze is made of copper, tin, and zinc and is also known as ‘Miralloy’. Whereas Bronze, is made of copper with Tin as the main additive.
Both are Bronze and White Bronze are strong, resist corrosion and breakdown, are solderable, non-magnetic, smooth and virtually non-porous.
White Bronze is a perfect alternative to nickel and silver. It has the look of aged silver, but the advantage is it does not tarnish. Your pieces will not turn black. Though, I have heard that over time they can take on a warmer look.
There are two reasons for the recent appearance of white bronze in the rosary making and jewelry world. Many people have developed nickel allergies. A documented 15% of the US population...as opposed to 10% during the 80's. With allergies to nickel on the rise, it is no wonder that nickel is being banned for jewellery use in the European Union.
