mattarios2 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Can brass be silver? The web claims the more zinc the more yellow/silver color it is. I've heard mya's are stainless steel, and i've heard they are brass, and I've also heard they are brass then layered with stainless steel(this forum)If its silver can anyone tell me for sure what it is?I guess it doesn't really matter, its a mya so its quality, I guess i'd just like to know for my own knowledge.
