Hand-Drawn Arabesques
Each motif begins at the drawing board, curled and counter-curled the way the Renaissance workshops intended — never repeated, never stamped.
The Atelier of Nimbus
Intricate as Lace,
Enduring as Gold
Nimbus Filigree continues the tradition of the old masters — every commission drawn by hand, chased in fine metal, and finished with a mirror’s devotion.
The Artistry
Three Pillars of the Craft
No stamps, no shortcuts — only the patient arithmetic of hand and flame.
Aged & Honest Materials
Sterling silver, eighteen-karat gold, and rose-gold vermeil, sourced from certified refiners and annealed for a lifetime of wear.
Heirloom Restoration
Bring a worn treasure back to the bench. We re-tip, re-chase, and re-polish until the original hand shows through once more.
The Commission
How a Piece Is Born
The Consultation
Share your story, sketch, or heirloom. We listen, then propose a motif and a materials plan in writing.
The Drawing & Wax
Your arabesque is drawn full-scale and carved in wax, and nothing is cast until you approve it.
The Finishing
Chasing, polishing, and a final inspection under loupe — delivered in a hand-bound presentation case.
Kind Words
From the Collector’s Ledger
The filigree Nimbus drew for our anniversary is the only gift my wife has never once taken off. It looks as though it had been in her family for centuries.
I inherited a broken brooch and feared it beyond saving. It returned more beautiful than in my grandmother’s photographs.

Questions
From the Enquiry Desk
How long does a commission take?
Most pieces spend four to eight weeks at the bench. Wax approvals add time only if a revision is requested — we give a firm date at the drawing stage, and we keep it.
Which metals and stones do you work in?
Sterling silver, eighteen-karat gold, rose gold, and responsibly sourced diamonds and pearls. If you dream in another material, ask — our refiners are remarkably accommodating.
Can I restore an inherited piece instead?
Gladly. Send photographs or bring the piece to the atelier. We assess it free of charge and return a written restoration plan within one week.
