About Nu-Gold

Nu-gold is a type of brass, which has a higher percentage of copper than standard brass. Due to the higher copper content, Nu-gold generally has more of a reddish color when compared to traditional brass. Many compare it to the color of 14K gold alloy. Also referred to as 230 alloys, this brass alloy is rated excellent for hammering and soldering applications. These factors make it a favorable choice for jewelry designers.

Color and Design

Much like real gold, Nu-gold has a rich, luxurious warm color that only enhances the design element. When polished, the red hue can become even more noticeable. Over time, the color of Nu-gold can darken, resulting in a beautiful blend of colors, often referred to as “Chameleon Metal”. Along with the darker gold color, Nu-gold also features splashes of forest green and raspberry pink tones.

Nu-gold can be texturized or stamped to take on a variety of designs or patterns. Its surface can be hammered to create texture that creates a brilliant shine. This bold design element can be worn by men and women. Hand-chased texture is also a popular design, which when polished to a mirror finish, makes for a bold piece of jewelry. Experiment with a variety of designs, including nature-inspired textures, such as bark.
