3mm Hammered Solid Nu Gold Brass Cuff Bracelet

Why This Cuff Deserves a Spot in Your Jewelry Collection

Sometimes it’s the smallest details that make the biggest impact. And that’s exactly what this bracelet does. With just 3mm of hammered Nu Gold brass, it delivers that rich, gold-like finish without being flashy or over-the-top. It’s like the little black dress of bracelets. Always works.

But here’s the best part—this piece is handmade right in San Francisco by jewelry designer John S. Brana. And that means it’s not mass-produced, cookie-cutter stuff. Each one is hand-hammered, giving it a textured surface that catches the light beautifully.

Who Would Love This Cuff?

This bracelet was made for people who love simple, understated style. It’s perfect if you:

• Prefer jewelry that goes with everything in your closet
• Like stacking your bracelets but want something slim to balance out the mix
• Appreciate the look of gold without the big price tag
• Want a lightweight piece that doesn’t get in the way

And if you’re shopping for someone else? It’s a great 21st wedding anniversary gift, since brass is the traditional metal for that milestone.

Where and How to Wear It

This isn’t the kind of bracelet you save for special occasions. It’s the one you wear with jeans, with that work blazer, with your favorite little dress. It slides on easily and plays well with bangles, chains, or even a watch.

Perfect ways to style it:

• Layered look with other Nu Gold bracelets
• Solo on a bare wrist for a clean, minimalist vibe
• Mixed with silver or copper cuffs for a modern twist

Ideal For These Occasions

While this cuff is great for everyday wear, it shines just as much during big moments:

• 21st wedding anniversaries (yep, brass is traditional!)
• Birthday gifts for a stylish friend or sister
• Graduations or milestones where you want to give a lasting keepsake
• Date night or cocktails, when you want just a hint of shine without trying too hard

Product Benefits

• Slim 3mm width (around 1/8 inch) makes it perfect for stacking
• Raw solid Nu Gold brass that looks like gold but without the high cost
• Hand-hammered texture adds light-catching detail
• 8 sizes available for a just-right fit
• Unisex style that works for both men and women
• Great gift for a 21st wedding anniversary or just because
• Made from recycled metals sourced in the U.S., so it’s eco-conscious too

Available Sizes

To get the right size, measure around your wrist just above the bone and add 1/2 inch. That’s the size you should order.

About Nu Gold Brass and Skin Discoloration

Let’s talk real for a second. This bracelet is made with Nu Gold brass, also known as jewelers brass. It’s a mix of 85% copper and 15% zinc. That copper is what gives it that beautiful warm gold tone. But copper can also react with your skin, depending on your body chemistry.

Here’s what might happen:

• It could leave a green mark on your skin after a few hours or days
• Some people never notice it at all
• It’s not harmful and washes off easily with soap and water

So if you're the type who doesn’t want any color transfer, you might want to look at John’s aluminum cuffs instead. But if you're cool with a little patina? This bracelet is a beauty.

Refunds won’t be given just because it turns your wrist green, so keep that in mind before you order.
