NU GOLD is an alloy of copper and zinc that has been specially formulated for jewelry. It has a richer, warmer color than most other brass alloys, and most importantly, it contains NO nickel.
COPPER Freshly exposed copper surface has a pinkish or peachy color. Because it tarnishes rather quickly, our copper collection is coated with varnish or wax to delay this reaction. Jewelry that has not been waxed, varnished, or patina may be easily cleaned with a variety of household products cleaning agents (i.e., Tarnex). It is best to store silver, copper and nu-gold in plastic bags to inhibit tarnish.
ARGENTAN is a copper alloy with nickel and often zinc. It is named for its silvery appearance, but contains no elemental silver. argentan is also known as nickel silver, German silver, paktong, new silver or alpacca. The advantages of this metal is that it is extremely tarnish resistant and affordable.
