NuGold is a type of copper and zinc brass known as Jeweler's Brass, Red Brass, or Merlin's Gold. It's often used in jewelry making because it is similar in color to 14K gold and flexible enough to be shaped into many designs.  
Here are some things to know about NuGold:  
  • Composition: NuGold comprises 85–88% copper and the rest zinc. 
  • Color: NuGold is reddish, similar to 14K gold, but the color can vary from batch to batch.  
  • Tarnishing: NuGold will tarnish naturally when exposed to oxygen, but the tarnish is a protective coating. Some people like the look of tarnished NuGold.  
  • Caring for NuGold: NuGold can be cleaned with flour, salt, and white vinegar paste.  
  • Tarnishing rate: How quickly NuGold tarnishes depends on the person wearing it, as different skin oils and pH levels differ.  
  • Flexibility: NuGold is as flexible as gold or silver and can be left with a matte finish or buffed to a shine.
