The 3.5mm Chased Nu Gold Brass Cuff Bracelet is a handmade beauty that brings subtle shine to your everyday look without trying too hard. It’s one of those pieces that becomes part of your daily style—simple, effortless, and always just right.
What Makes This Cuff So Special?
Let’s start with the basics. This bracelet is:
Handcrafted in San Francisco
Made from solid Nu Gold brass (aka Jeweler’s Brass)
Slim at 3.5mm wide (just under 1/8 inch)
Features a hand-chased texture that adds shimmer without sparkle
Comes in 5 sizes for a snug but comfortable fit
Eco-conscious – made from 100% recycled U.S.-sourced metals
A thoughtful 21st wedding anniversary gift idea
So yeah, it’s got everything going for it. Whether you’re a minimalist jewelry lover or someone who likes to stack your bracelets, this cuff plays well with any style.
What’s Nu Gold?
Nu Gold is a brass alloy that gives you that rich golden glow of 14K gold without the big price tag. It’s made from 85% copper and 15% zinc, giving it strength, color, and character.
Heads up, though: copper can react with your skin—especially if you’re wearing lotion, sweating, or have a higher skin pH. That greenish tint some people see? Totally normal. Completely harmless. And super easy to wash off. (Soap + water = done.)
Some people never experience it. Others do occasionally. Either way, it’s just part of the charm of wearing real, untreated metal.
Where and How to Wear It
This cuff is designed for everyday life. Throw it on with a tee and jeans, wear it with your office blazer, or let it peek out from under your sweater sleeve. You can stack it with other cuffs or bangles, or just wear it solo for a sleek look.
It works for:
Daily wear (because it’s lightweight and comfy)
Special occasions (like a 21st wedding anniversary 🎉)
Date night, brunch, vacations, or gift giving
Anyone who loves handmade, minimal, eco-conscious accessories
