Iron is a robust and versatile metal, used in jewellery mainly for unique and creative designs, often inspired by industrial or artisanal styles. Its silvery grey colour and the ability to develop natural patinas or be treated with controlled oxidations make it ideal for jewellery with a distinctive character.
In addition, iron is often used as a base in alloys such as stainless steel, which is prized for its corrosion resistance and hardness. Iron or ferrous alloy jewellery offers a mix of strength and refinement, perfect for durable creations with superior aesthetic impact.
Banco Villa offers iron in a variety of forms, such as wires, sheets and grains, ideal for craftsmanship and for the creation of custom alloys.
