NuGold art deco style barrette
For those who find it challenging to find a hair accessory that is both stylish and functional, especially one that can keep your hair neatly in place.
Introducing our decorative NuGold barrette, which combines the elegance of art deco style with practical design.
Crafted with a scalloped edge and an embossed art deco pattern, this barrette measures 4 inches wide by 1 1/4 inches tall. The french style clip, hand riveted using brass tubing, is 3 1/2 inches wide by 5/16 inches tall, providing a secure hold. A patina finish accentuates the pattern, making it stand out beautifully against the metal.
Perfect for anyone seeking to keep their hair tidy and away from the face, this barrette is not just an accessory—it’s a statement of sophistication and functionality.
NuGold, also known as Jeweler’s Brass, Red Brass, or Merlin’s Gold, is an alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc. It’s known for its beautiful color that closely resembles 14K yellow gold, making it a popular choice in jewelry making. NuGold provides a practical and cost-effective solution for those looking to create gold-like jewelry pieces without the high expense associated with real gold.
**All metals are prone to discoloration over time due to a chemical reaction called oxidation. When metals are exposed to oxygen, water, sweat, lotions, and even oils from your own skin it will oxidize.
Most of the items we make have a patina already applied to them, but if the piece is left out and exposed to oxygen, the patina will naturally darken. Copper will turn a deep, rich brown color at times resembling leather or even wood.
Do not expose your piece to water. Activities such as swimming, showering, cleaning, cooking and exercising can cause your piece to degrade over time and should be avoided.
Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals like household detergents.
You may clean your piece with a simple microfiber polishing cloth.

About Naturalisms
Thank you for taking the time to learn about my work. I am a visually impaired silversmith based in East Tennessee, not far from Chattanooga. Although I’ve only been working with silver for a few years, I’ve always been an artist in one capacity or another. As a child I learned how to sketch from my grandfather who was an artist, sign painter and, who his family believes, was the inventor of the first bottle jack. He was a pretty amazing guy.
Although I create many mixed metal pieces I love working with silver because it’s such a versatile material. My pieces tend to be more rustic in style with a little spirituality mixed in. My work has evolved into more of a wearable art form that is heavily inspired by nature rather than a line of fine jewelry. I love the organic shapes and textures of the natural world, and I strive to capture those elements in my work.
If you’re interested in learning more about silversmithing, or if you’re looking for a custom piece of jewelry, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I would love to work with you to create something special.
