The supplied ring allowance is four rings per foot of rod, rounded up to an even number, with a minimum of eight. This is a practical starting allowance, not a universal curtain requirement. For pleated panels, count the required attachment points on each panel; fuller curtains may need additional rings. Divide the supplied rings between the panels to suit their headings.

What is included
The selected rod and the matching ring quantity listed above. Curtains, fabric panels and room furnishings shown are styling accessories and are not included. Confirm the mounting kit, any required center supports, and whether curtain pins or hooks must be purchased separately before ordering.
Measuring and installation
- Measure the intended overall rod width and check clearance around the window, adjacent walls and trim.
- Confirm rod diameter, wall projection, mounting-plate dimensions and suitability for the curtain weight with Kinycraft before purchase.
- Ask a qualified installer to select fixings appropriate for the wall or frame. Check that concealed services are clear before drilling.
- Fit closed rings before securing any non-removable ends. Follow the confirmed assembly instructions for your order.
- Longer spans or joined rods may require intermediate supports. Standard closed rings cannot pass a conventional center support; plan panel movement accordingly.
Handcrafted solid brass and living finish
Made from solid brass and left without a protective lacquer, this hardware develops its own patina over time. Handling, moisture and the surrounding environment influence how quickly its color changes. Unlacquered describes the absence of lacquer; it does not specify an antique, brushed or polished surface treatment. Subtle variations in surface tone are part of the appearance shown.
Care
Dust with a soft dry cloth. For light marks, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry promptly. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals and acidic cleaners. Leave the brass to develop patina, or use a cleaner specifically suitable for unlacquered brass according to its instructions, testing an inconspicuous area first.
Custom requests
For a length outside the listed options, contact contact@kinycraft.com with your measurements and curtain details. Availability, construction and a separate quotation must be confirmed before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
Will the finish change over time?
Yes. Unlacquered brass naturally changes tone and develops patina. Lighting and screens can also affect how the photographed finish appears.
Are these clip rings?
The supplied design is shown with eyelet rings. Check the attachment requirements of your curtain heading; clips are not shown.
How many rings do I need?
Use the table as your supplied allowance. Final requirements depend on fabric width, fullness and heading style. For pleated curtains, count the pleats and edge attachment points.
Is the rod suitable for heavy curtains?
Ask Kinycraft to confirm the rod diameter, support arrangement and suitability for your curtain weight and span before ordering. No tested load rating is specified here.

Materials & Care
Authentic Solid Brass and Copper
Every Kinycraft piece is handcrafted from genuine copper or premium solid brass. We do not use lightweight plated metals or imitation finishes. Our materials are carefully selected for their strength, durability, natural beauty, and ability to develop character over time.
Because our products are handmade, slight variations in texture, hammering, color, and finish are natural. These differences are not defects—they make every piece unique.
Unlacquered Brass
Our unlacquered brass products are made from solid brass without a protective lacquer coating. They normally arrive with a bright, polished appearance and gradually develop a natural patina through exposure to air, moisture, oils, and everyday use.
The finish may become warmer, darker, or more aged over time. This natural transformation is known as a living finish and is part of the authentic character of unlacquered brass.
Customers who prefer the original shiny appearance can regularly polish the brass. Those who appreciate an aged, vintage look can allow the patina to develop naturally.
Copper
Our copper pieces are made from genuine copper and may be offered in polished, hammered, aged, oxidized, or custom patina finishes.
Like unlacquered brass, copper is a living material. Its color may naturally deepen or change over time depending on humidity, handling, water exposure, and the surrounding environment. These variations add warmth and individuality to each handcrafted product.
Daily Cleaning
For regular care:
- Clean the surface with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap.
- Rinse away any soap residue with clean water.
- Dry the item immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Wipe away water spots regularly, especially in hard-water areas.
- Use a soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
Maintaining a Shiny Finish
To preserve or restore a bright polished appearance:
- Use a brass or copper polish suitable for unlacquered metal.
- Apply a small amount using a soft cloth.
- Always test the product on a small, discreet area first.
- Polish gently and follow the product manufacturer’s instructions.
- Remove all remaining polish and buff the surface with a clean cloth.
Frequent polishing is optional. It should only be done when you wish to reduce or remove the natural patina.
Preserving the Natural Patina
To maintain the naturally aged appearance:
- Avoid metal polish and abrasive cleaning products.
- Clean gently using mild soap and water.
- Dry the surface after cleaning.
- Allow the finish to continue changing naturally.
- Avoid excessive rubbing, as this may create brighter areas.
Products to Avoid
Do not use:
- Bleach or chlorine-based cleaners
- Strong chemical cleaning sprays
- Abrasive powders or scouring pads
- Steel wool or hard brushes
- Oven cleaners or aggressive degreasers
- Highly acidic products unless specifically intended for brass or copper
Harsh products may stain, scratch, discolor, or permanently alter the metal finish.
Important Care Notes
Water quality, humidity, fingerprints, cleaning habits, and environmental conditions can affect how quickly brass and copper develop patina. Areas that are frequently touched may change color faster than less-used sections.
For faucets, sinks, showers, and bathroom accessories, drying the surface after use will help reduce mineral deposits and water marks. A soft cloth should be used around engraved, hammered, or detailed areas.
Natural patina, surface variation, and gradual color changes are expected characteristics of genuine unlacquered brass and copper. They are not considered manufacturing defects.
