Product Insights
The Pyar Heart Mini Frame is a handcrafted, one-of-a-kind brass mini frame made from 100% recycled brass by multi-generational artisans in India, backed by B Corp certification. At $24 CAD, it is the most affordable entry in Doing Goods' brass line, 60% less than the gold version, but holds only 2×2 inch photos and has gold plating that visibly wears at edges within 1–2 years (replating costs $30–$80). The red enamel heart is permanently affixed, resists scratches and fading, and requires cleaning with a soft damp cloth and mild dish soap; the frame includes a fold-out easel for tabletop display. Its value lies in ethical production and unique character, with deliberate slight variations in finish and symmetry.
- Craftsmanship
Each frame is handcrafted using lost-wax casting and enameled via a traditional wax-stick technique.
Why this is supported
The frame is handcrafted using lost-wax casting:
First a wax model of our design is created by hand. Then a mold is shaped around this wax model and afterwards filled with molten brass.
doing-goods.comThen the heart's color is applied with a patience-intensive technique:
the colors are carefully added with wax sticks, a true indulgence of patience and craft. Afterwards the pieces are heated once again and receive a coat of enamel on top for a high-quality finishing touch.
doing-goods.comFinally, the heart is structurally integrated:
The red heart is permanently attached as part of the frame's design — it is not removable or replaceable. The frame is crafted from a single piece of gold-plated recycled brass with the heart integrated into the structure.
Is the red heart decoration permanently attached, or can it be removed or replaced?- Unique character
Each frame is one-of-a-kind with intentional slight variations in finish and symmetry.
Why this is supported
The brand explicitly markets handcrafted individuality:
Due to the handcrafted nature of this item, expect slight variation in the appearance of each item. Perfect by no means, but unique all the more!
doing-goods.comThus, slight asymmetries and tool marks are intentional and positively framed as markers of authenticity.
- Social responsibility

doing-goods.com- Care
Clean only with a soft damp cloth and mild dish soap; avoid water and abrasives.
Why this is supported
Water is a key accelerant for tarnish on gold-plated brass; afashionblog.com lists
water, sweat, perfume, lotions, and chlorine
afashionblog.comas common threats. Brite.co warns that
You can't polish gold plating because it will take the plating off immediately
brite.coand advises using
regular dish soap, like Dawn
brite.coon a soft, damp cloth. The recycled brass frame is handmade from 100% recycled brass but behaves identically to conventional brass, so care instructions are standard. The enamel heart is sealed with a top coat; Doing Goods describes the technique:
receive a coat of enamel on top for a high-quality finishing touch
doing-goods.comThis makes the enamel durable but, like the plating, it should only be cleaned gently to preserve both finishes.
- Durability
Gold plating wears visibly at edges within 1-2 years; replating for $30–$80 restores it.
Why this is supported
Afashionblog.com states that
With good care, gold plated brass lasts 1–2 years before visible tarnishing begins.
afashionblog.comIt also notes that
Replating is possible and affordable — most jewelers charge $30–$80 to replate a piece, restoring it to new condition.
