The process

From sketch to
something you can hand down.

Every NM piece follows the same five stages, in the same room, before it's approved for sale. Nothing is outsourced.

Design & wax

Each design is carved in wax by hand or modelled digitally, then cast in resin for a fit check.

Casting

The wax is invested and cast in premium brass, then prepared for plating using the lost-wax method.

Setting

Stones are hand-selected for colour match and set one at a time under a loupe.

Polishing

Multiple polishing passes bring up the finish — matte, brushed, or high-shine, depending on the piece.

Quality pass

A final inspection checks every prong, hinge and clasp by hand before it ships.

Materials

What actually holds
a piece together.

Premium gold plating — multiple micro-layers of gold plated over a solid brass base, thick enough to outlast typical fashion-jewellery plating by years.

Rhodium & silver-tone plating — used on its own for pieces meant to be worn matte or bright silver-tone, and as the base under select gold pieces.

Stone — AAA-grade cubic zirconia and premium crystal, hand-set and diamond-cut for real sparkle.

Keeping a piece for years, not seasons.

A few habits that keep the plating and stones looking new.

Last on, first off

Put jewellery on after perfume, lotion and hairspray — and take it off before you wash up or swim.

Store it flat and dry

Keep pieces separated in the pouch provided, away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Wipe, don't scrub

A soft polishing cloth after wear keeps the plating bright and prevents tarnish build-up.
