Sheet metal is one of the most basic building blocks for metalsmithing and jewelry making. Using techniques like cutting it to shape, heating it with a jeweler's torch, using cold connections on it and setting stones in it, one can transform it into a piece of art. The creative possibilities for sheet metal are endless!This listing is for one sheet. This metal is Brass, the thickness is 22 gauge and it is a 6x6" inch square.Brass is a gorgeous gold-like metal that we use for our gold colored designs. An alloy of copper and zinc, Brass is an inexpensive alternative to gold and has a bright luster and can also be stamped with letter/design stamps or flame painted with a torch. Like Nickel Silver though, flame painted colors tend to stay on the more muted range compared to other metals like Copper. Brass is different from Red Brass in that it has less copper content. Brass, like Nickel Silver, will generally stay true to its color over time.
