Criteria that matter most

  • Nu Gold versus gold – the colour runs through the alloy rather than sitting on top as plating, but it is not precious metal
  • Upkeep – most pieces are coated to hold their colour, so a wipe is enough
  • Anniversary – brass is the traditional 21st wedding anniversary material

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is Nu Gold brass?

A red brass alloy chosen for a warm yellow colour close to gold. Because the colour is in the metal itself, it does not wear away like plating.

Q2. Will brass turn my wrist green?

Brass contains copper, so it can leave a temporary mark depending on skin chemistry. Coated pieces largely prevent it, and the mark washes off with soap and water.

Q3. How do I choose a cuff size?

Measure your wrist with a soft tape and add half an inch. The opening at the back is included in the stated circumference.

Q4. Is brass suitable for an anniversary gift?

Yes. Brass is the traditional material for the 21st wedding anniversary.
