Nué

In an industry that is dominated by men, Nué shows true girl power! The company was founded and managed by women. From the design room, factory floors, to the accounting and marketing divisions, Nué employs a talented and diverse group of powerful women. 

Nué believes that investing in a business is also investing in people. All the Nué jewelry is made in Europe, ensuring fair wages and good working conditions. The pieces are handcrafted by artisans with an expertise in making ultra fine 18k gold jewelry.

All pieces are handcrafted in Europe and created with lab grown diamonds and 18k recycled gold to avoid destructive mining.

Mining diamonds is a destructive, costly process which has a lot of impact on our environment and ecosystems. Approximately 2,5 tons of the earth have to be removed and 126 gallons of water are used to uncover 1 carat of rough diamond. Besides that, the workers who mine diamonds are often forced to work in terrible working conditions. Want to know more about the impact of diamond mining on our planet and communities?

Nué consciously chooses a more ethical approach by using lab grown diamonds. The above ground diamonds are created in a lab and are polished in the same workshops as mined diamonds. Physically and chemically, lab grown diamonds look identical to their mined counterparts. Nué pieces are made with the whitest and cleanest sustainable diamonds ensuring your jewelry to have a brilliant sparkle. 

As we already mentioned in a recent article, gold mining is one of the most polluting activities in the world. Besides that, it also disrupts entire communities and incites wars. To limit the destruction caused by new mining, Nué recycles and repurposes gold from existing sources like old jewelry and electrical components. The label only uses 18k yellow gold which is both air and water resistant.

Nué sources its products from the Antwerp area or close to it, keeping the chain short. 

This brand does not use any animal products.

Their delicate and versatile diamond jewelry can be worn every day and will stay on your skin forever. 

On the Nué website you can find a beautiful collection of diamond earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings. Looking for something more personal? At Nué you can also customise your dream engagement ring. Make an appointment in their atelier in Antwerp or book an online info session for more information.

Nué got its name from the French word ​‘nue’ which means naked. Because the delicate pieces of fine jewelry are very lightweight, they float on your body and feel like a second skin. Thanks to the high-quality materials, the pieces will last a long time.

Nué provides a lot of transparency on the website regarding the production and sourcing processes.
