The name, Nebü, derived from the Egyptian hieroglyph for “gold” by the same name, represents the timeless value of gold throughout the ages.
Ancient Egyptians believed that gold was an indestructible and heavenly metal, with its divine origin to have originated from the flesh of the deities.
To this ancient civilisation, gold symbolised immortality, from which the gods and goddesses were made from.

To ensure that these properties are not adulterated and that your piece will, not only retain its value for decades to come, but it will grow in value.

Nebü differs from most modern jewellers in a couple of ways:
The element Gold (Au) is found in nature as 24K, with very unique qualities namely that it is immune to oxidization, is hypoallergenic and antimicrobial. In other words, it will never decay over time just like the pure gold jewellery made during Egyptian times thousands of years ago, looks exactly the same to this day, no matter where it was stored.
An alloy is when the 24K pure gold (100% pure gold) is diluted by adding other metals. Jewellery made with alloys are ubiquitous and common. Gold cannot be recreated or made more of, there is a finite amount of it on Earth, thus ensuring its preserved value.
Traditionally jewellery was made to show and to store wealth. We are taking jewellery back to its roots.
Our clients are guaranteed the benefits of pure gold, namely the store of value, antimicrobial and hypoallergenic qualities and the immunity from oxidization.
Gold is a natural and rare precious element. For every gram of gold on earth, there are 400,000 grams of diamonds.
By not working with stones, we ensure that there is no confusion or subjectivity about what the intrinsic value of the jewellery is. At any given time our clients will know exactly what the value of their jewellery is according to objective, international standards.
The founder of Nebü is a conservationist and philanthropist by heart and charity has always been a part of her life, whether it be through volunteering at shelters, organizing fund raisers or donating money to worthy causes.

Where does Nebü source it’s material and where does it manufacture its jewellery?
Nebu’s gold is responsibly sourced through our manufacturing partner, Metal Concentrators (Pty) Ltd, one of the largest and most reputable manufactures in the South Africa. All our jewellery is manufactured by Metal Concentrators (Pty) Ltd who comply with all regulations and who also run their own social responsibility charities and philanthropic outreach programs.
Pure Gold is discernible from other precious metals in its radiance, immunity to decay and relative softness compared to other metals. The purity of 24 karat gold, ensures that it will keep shining, regardless of its storage, for millions of years.
Due to its relative softness or malleability, when in its purest form, your pieces will fit your body over time and through every day wear, and it should be polished by a professional local jeweller.
Even the hardest of precious metals, like platinum, will scratch if worn on a daily basis and we recommend that you store your jewellery correctly.
To maintain the natural sheen of your gold jewellery it is advised to regularly wipe it with a soft cloth and to always store it separately from your other jewellery.
Occasionally, one can let your jewellery soak in warm water with mild detergent to remove any residue that might have built up from your everyday wear, which can cause your jewellery to appear dull.
Always take your jewellery to a trusted jeweller who knows how to polish high purity gold.
Pure Gold jewellery does not tarnish, but can be adversely affected by harsh chemicals such as bleach.
Given the malleability of pure gold, it is advisable to not wear your Nebü jewellery during exercise or manual activity that might cause scratches and dents.
Some perfumes and cosmetic products can also contain harmful chemicals so take care when applying such products to the areas where your jewellery might come into contact with it, for instance around your wrists.
