How to Measure For Perfect Nu Gold Brass Cuff Fit

How to Choose a Nu Gold Brass Bracelet
Nu Gold is a red brass alloy with the warm colour of yellow gold. Width, texture and fit decide the choice.
| Option | What it is | Who it suits | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slim cuffs, 3mm to 3.5mm | Narrow bands built for stacking | Layering with a watch or other cuffs | How many you plan to wear |
| Medium cuffs, 10mm | The everyday width | Wearing alone or in a small stack | Wrist measurement plus half an inch |
| Wide cuffs, 1 3/4 inches | Statement widths in gold tone | A single bold piece | Wrist length, as wide cuffs sit high |
| Textured finishes | Hammered, chased, bark and linen surfaces | Anyone who wants more than a plain band | Which texture suits your style |
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.
