Bronze is the traditional name for a broad range of alloys of copper. Bronze is dull brown in color. Bronze beads are available in numerous finishes like antique, copper, patina, silver, pewter, wooden, lacquer and used for decorative purposes and making artificial jewelry. It is usually copper with zinc and tin but it is not limited to those metals. First used during the Bronze Age, to which it gave its name, bronze made tools, weapons and armor that were either harder or more durable than their stone and copper predecessors. |
