I love my Heidi Daus jewelry, and I like the original metal! :heart:  Please don’t stop using the oxidized metal, Heidi!  I know a few customers don’t care for it, but I think the vast majority of Heidi Daus fans love the look of it and will be disappointed if you change it.  The original metal is one of the things I love about your jewelry.  It really showcases the color and sparkle of the crystals and it gives your beautiful pieces a wonderful, unique look!  My most recent purchase is the daisy ring and the metal is polished on the band, and I prefer the softer, brushed looking metal.  (Still, I gave it 5 stars; who notices the band with all those sparkly petals?:smileywink:)  Please keep bringing us beautiful pieces of art to wear!  Thank you!
