    Very nice indeed.
    How will de brass hold, will it get green over time or not?

    Kind regards, Robert

    Hi -- The polished brass definitely does lose some shine over time, and eventually it will get that aged greenish patina. I've been wearing several pairs that I've had printed, but they have not tarnished as yet, so I don't know how long it will take. Storing them in a cloth bag and using a polishing cloth will help slow down the process, or so they say.

    I just ordered a pair of these in gold plate because I'd like to see how gold plate holds up. It won't tarnish, but I don't know how well the plating will keep that nice gold finish.

    Just as an aside, Pablo Picasso observed that rubbing his bald head with a pork chop would give a nice patina. :)

    These are really beautiful! I love that they are "somewhat mathematical" -- reminds me of myself :p

    Definitely keep us posted on how the gold plating holds up, we love to get that kind of feedback! It helps us understand where we have opportunities to improve with our materials.

    Keep up the good work :)
