NuGold Jump Rings - Product Description
NuGold is a brass alloy that has been specially formulated for jewelry and is also known as "Red Brass," "Merlin's Gold," and "Jeweler's Bronze." It has a rich warm color and if polished resembles gold without the high cost of gold. NuGold contains 85% copper and 15% zinc and no nickel. It tarnishes considerably slower than copper, and is easy to clean.

NuGold Jump Rings - Specifications
Our jump rings follow the American Wire Gauge (AWG), also known as Brown and Sharpe (B&S). All sizes listed are inside diameter (I.D.) which corresponds to the size of the mandrel onto which the wire is wound. Use these I.D.'s as a guide not an absolute.

The wire used to make our jump rings is of extremely high quality and made using an IOS-Certified production process. However, like all wire, there may be slight tolerances in size. Wire diameter may vary up to 0.03mm (0.0012”) larger or smaller than the listed size.

Occasionally you might get a misshapen ring or an end cut half ring. To account for this, we put extra rings in every bag. 

 **Important Notice: Orders with more than 2 packs of an item may be bulk packaged at WGM's discretion. However, sizes will not be mixed in a bag.

    NuGold 16 AWG

    I was hesitant to get these because I wasn't sure about the color. Yellow golds are hard to find a good color. These are gorgeous! I immediately ordered more. It is a pretty gold color and the rings are a breeze to work with.

    Great product!

    These have been by far my favorite rings I’ve worked with. It is stupid easy to bend and gets nice easy closures. Highly recommend. My customer was super pleased with the end product!

    Tarnish very quickly

    They’re very bright and shiny right out of the package, but after making a bracelet they looked very dull as if they’d been worn for years. I wasn’t very excited about that.

    Love Nugold

    I use these to make men's Byzantine bracelets. They are perfect. They line up perfectly and stay shiny. They look amazingly like 14k gold.

    Good to work with, not for long term

    Feb 3rd 2017

    The NuGold looks bright and shiny to start with, and is VERY nice to work with, however, it starts to lose some of its color fairly quickly and has a strong odor of copper and zinc (like smelling a stack of pennies).

    If I use this is the future, I will have to find a way to clear coat it for the long term.

    Great substitute for gold-filled!

    Dec 2nd 2016

    I used these combined with silver-filled rings to make a Byzantine Rose bracelet. I love the look of the mixed metals and it was way more affordable than gold filled and sterling silver. High quality and a pleasure to work with. I won't buy jump rings anywhere else!
