FAQ

Where are your key rings made?

Our materials are shipped to Columbia, South Carolina where they are handcrafted and assembled. From there we distribute both our online orders as well as wholesale orders out of our Lexington, SC location.

What materials are used in your key rings?

All of our brass rings are made of “464 brass”, also known as “naval brass”. We chose this brass type as it is extremely corrosion resistant, has good strength and hardness, as well as excellent resistance to zincification. Most importantly it is completely lead free with a composition of 60% Copper, 39.25% Zinc, and 0.25% Tin. 

The buckles and split rings used in our various designs are all Solid Brass - LL  and they all meet  California PROP 65 and European REACH Standard.

Do you sell your items wholesale?

Yes! Please reach out to info@grey-mare.com to receive the Grey Mare Line Sheet with full details.

Can I add more buckles or swivels to my Grey Mare Key Ring?

Our solid brass key rings are now soldered together so that the buckle attachment and your keys are secure. Therefore only buckles or rings with an opening (such as a clip or a split ring) can be added to your Grey Mare key ring.

How do I care for my Grey Mare Key Ring? 

Your Grey Mare key ring does not need special care to last a lifetime. 

It’s natural for brass to form a patina due to a natural chemical reaction between the copper and elements including oxygen and water. While this is often a desired characteristic,i f you’d prefer to bring it back to its polished original state, we recommend polishing using your preferred method

What are your sustainability efforts?

Our priority is ensuring the planet is better off due to Grey Mare’s existence–not worse. Therefore we take sustainability incredibly seriously.
