Nambé is an eight-metal alloy whose major component is aluminum. It was created at Los Alamos National Laboratory in the 1940s and is exclusively produced by the Nambé Mills, Inc., which was founded in 1951 near Nambé Pueblo, some 10 miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The alloy has the luster of silver and the solidity of iron. Because Nambé's alloy is a trade secret, the Nambé company does not divulge the rest of the formula. The metal is often sand cast and polished to a high luster to create aluminum alloy products such as serving pieces, cookware, bowls, platters, trays, dishes, plates, napkin rings, candle holders, wine bottle holders, martini shakers and coasters. Nambé is still in existence and now caters to high end department stores and buyers.
Once you receive your order, here are some simple care instructions:
Wipe Nambé alloy product by hand with mild soap and dry immediately with a soft clean cloth. Never place your Nambé metal product in the microwave. With proper care, your Nambé product will look beautiful and maintain its lustrous finish.
