Decoding "BZ OTC" on Earrings: Brass Composition and Over‑the‑Counter Meaning

The marking "BZ OTC" on jewelry typically indicates:

  • BZ = Brass – an alloy of copper and zinc, valued for durability, affordability, and gold‑like appearance.
  • OTC = Over‑the‑Counter – meaning the item is sold without a prescription (a term borrowed from pharmaceuticals but applied here to denote non‑prescription retail jewelry).

Therefore, earrings stamped "BZ OTC" are brass, non‑prescription fashion accessories.
