Measuring about 26 inches long, this handmade brass necklace falls beautifully over a blouse, dress, sweater, or simple top. The mix of three link sizes keeps the eye moving along the necklace while the polished surface catches light from different angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is jewelry for a woman who enjoys clothing and accessories with personality. She may pair it with a black dress for dinner, wear it over a cream sweater for an afternoon in the city, or add it to a crisp shirt when she wants a little more polish at work.

At approximately 1 inch wide, the links create a strong visual line around the neckline. The necklace is substantial enough to become the main jewelry piece in an outfit, yet its open chain construction keeps the design from feeling heavy or crowded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree different link sizes create a relaxed rhythm. The links vary from 1 inch to 3\/4 inch and 1\/2 inch, so the necklace does not have the mechanical appearance often found in factory made chain jewelry. Instead, the changing sizes give it movement and help draw attention to the handmade surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach link has a hand hammered texture that plays with light. After the texture is formed, the brass is polished to a mirror finish. The result is a golden surface that can shift from bright highlights to deeper warm tones as you move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShoppers who enjoy learning about different metals used in jewelry can browse the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.johnsbrana.com\/collections\/metal\" title=\"Click to Discover John's Metal Jewelry Designs\"\u003emetal jewelry collection\u003c\/a\u003e for more ways to compare color, texture, and style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Nu Gold Brass Has Such a Warm Look\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNu Gold is often called jewelers brass because its copper rich color gives it a look that is close to traditional yellow gold. This necklace is made from CDA #230 alloy, which contains 85 percent copper and 15 percent zinc. That blend creates the rich golden color that makes Nu Gold popular for bold handmade jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who likes the appearance of yellow gold but does not want the price that often comes with a large gold chain, Nu Gold offers another way to wear that warm color. The generous size of these links makes the choice especially noticeable. A necklace this broad in solid 14K gold could represent a very different purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can see more pieces made with this warm metal in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.johnsbrana.com\/collections\/brass-jewelry\" title=\"Click to Browse John's Other Brass Jewelry Creations\"\u003ebrass jewelry collection\u003c\/a\u003e and the dedicated \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.johnsbrana.com\/collections\/nu-gold-necklaces\" title=\"Click to View More Nu Gold Brass Chain Link Necklaces\"\u003eNu Gold necklace collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders who enjoy learning more about gold colored jewelry can also visit the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.johnsbrana.com\/blogs\/gold\" title=\"Click to Explore John's Latest Brass Nu Gold Jewelry Designs\"\u003eJohn S.

Small changes in the metal reflect light in different directions, so the necklace can look different as you turn your head or walk across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat texture works especially well with simple clothing. Try the necklace over a solid black, navy, ivory, olive, chocolate brown, or deep burgundy top. The golden brass becomes the focus without competing against a busy pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefer prints and layered outfits? The necklace can work there too. Wear it over a simple neckline beneath a blazer or jacket so the links create a clear frame around the upper body. A longer 26 inch necklace is also useful with higher necklines because it has enough length to remain visible instead of disappearing near the collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more ideas about wearing brass as a fashion statement, visit \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.johnsbrana.com\/blogs\/gold\/strike-gold-with-daring-brass-jewelry-this-season\" title=\"Click to Strike Gold with Daring Brass Jewelry This Season\"\u003eStrike Gold With Daring Brass Jewelry This Season\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Would Wear This Brass Chain Link Necklace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis necklace suits a woman who likes jewelry that can be seen rather than jewelry that quietly disappears into an outfit. She may favor modern dresses, tailored jackets, soft sweaters, denim, linen, or clean city inspired clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also a good fit for someone who prefers handmade jewelry over mass produced accessories. John S. Brana has been handcrafting jewelry in his San Francisco studio for more than 20 years, creating pieces that place surface texture and metalwork at the center of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomers who care about where materials come from may also appreciate that John S. Brana Handmade Jewelry uses 100 percent U.S. sourced recycled and refined metals.

Brana Handmade Jewelry website\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis necklace can be especially appealing to women who already wear warm toned watches, rings, bracelets, or earrings. It gives those smaller accessories a larger focal point that pulls the outfit together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow and Where to Wear the Necklace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 26 inch length gives you plenty of styling choices. Over a fitted turtleneck or crew neck sweater, the chain hangs low enough to create a long line through the center of the outfit. With a V neck or open blouse, it can follow the neckline and bring more attention toward the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor daytime wear, pair it with jeans, a white shirt, and simple brass earrings. At work, place it over a dark blouse or knit top beneath a blazer. For dinner or an evening event, wear it with a solid dress and let the mirror polished links do most of the accessorizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the necklace already has a strong scale, you do not need to cover yourself in matching jewelry. Small or medium Nu Gold earrings can keep the look balanced.

It can also turn an ordinary lunch outfit into something that feels much more considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA 21st Wedding Anniversary Gift for Her\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrass has a special connection with the 21st wedding anniversary, making this necklace a fitting choice for a husband shopping for his wife. Instead of choosing a small decorative object that may spend most of its time on a shelf, you can give her something she can wear throughout the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe necklace also carries the personal character of handmade metalwork. Its hammered surface gives the piece a sense of the work that went into shaping and finishing it. For a marriage that has reached 21 years, a gift made by hand can feel especially fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsider presenting it before an anniversary dinner so she can wear it that evening. It pairs easily with a classic black dress, a jewel toned blouse, or even a simple cream sweater if your anniversary plans are relaxed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf she already wears yellow gold jewelry, the warm Nu Gold color can fit naturally into her collection. If she normally wears fewer accessories, the open links and longer length make this an easy statement piece to try without needing to build an entire coordinated set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures approximately 26 inches in Length by 1 inch in Width.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNu Gold \"Jewelers Brass\" CDA #230 alloy (85% copper\/15% zinc) - same look as 14K Gold without the price shock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21st Wedding Anniversary Gift for Her.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree link sizes that vary from 1 inch, 3\/4 inch, and 1\/2 inch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand hammered texture and polished to mirror finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass is coated with a non-toxic polymer to prevent tarnish and discoloration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Protective Coating Helps Keep the Finish Looking Bright\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBare brass naturally changes color as it reacts with air, moisture, skin oils, and other parts of everyday life. This necklace is coated with a non toxic polymer that helps reduce tarnish and discoloration, allowing the polished golden surface to stay bright with less upkeep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven with that coating, thoughtful jewelry care is worthwhile. Store the necklace separately from pieces that may scratch the polished surface. Wipe it gently after wearing and avoid exposing it to harsh household cleaners. Putting jewelry on after lotions, fragrances, and hair products have dried can also help keep the surface clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mirror finish is part of the visual appeal, so gentle handling is better than aggressive polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStyling Nu Gold With Other Handmade Jewelry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA necklace this noticeable does not need much help, although pairing it with related pieces can create a polished look. Chased earrings are a natural match because their hammered surfaces repeat the texture of the necklace without making everything look identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Nu Gold cuff can work well on the opposite side of the outfit from a handbag or larger ring. This spreads the warm brass color across your look rather than concentrating every accessory around your neckline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a closer view of handmade jewelry and metalworking related content, browse the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL5bD7zH34cL5z1GS3Vkw3dLNbsNVhAcFY\u0026amp;si=9j3DmaFB5qHE43Tq\" title=\"Click to Watch John's Nu Gold Brass Videos on YouTube\"\u003eJohn S.
