About Us
Nubiti
Nubiti was born, in 2022, from a belief in the power of handmade jewelry.
With a combined 25-years of experience in the world of jewelry and gems, we created Nubiti, as a way to share our passion for making jewelry.
At Nubiti, you will find a space that is serene and meditative, where you can leave behind the bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in the creation of wearable art. Our workshops will guide you through the ancient practice of wax carving, empowering you to follow your unique vision to fashion your own piece of jewelry.
More than simply a class, Nubiti aspires to be an experience. The name Nubiti, which comes from an ancient Egyptian word meaning Golden Lady, represents our desire to bring people closer not only to the practice of making jewelry, but to its history and to its materials. Our hope is that you will leave not only with a new skill and a new piece of jewelry, but with a deeper connection to nature and to yourself.
