Born in Paris, London based jewellery designer Natalie Simond is the founder and creative director of Amadeus. Nathalie grew up in a multi-cultural environment and after spending her childhood living in several different continents she settled in London where she studied Fashion Design at the prestigious Central Saint Martin's School of Art. Her varied experience working in the fashion industry as well as her extensive travels across the globe always inspire her to create bespoke jewellery pieces. 

"I created Amadeus to democratize access to genuine craftsmanship, rich in know-how, by offering quality at an affordable price. The collection I offer is 100% handmade, both eclectic and ethnically inspired."

Recycled Silver & Pre-Loved Gemstones

Hand producing all the pieces in her London studio gives her complete control over the entire process, from sourcing and production to setting and finishing. Hand producing all the pieces in her London studio gives Nathalie complete control over the entire process. Most of their jewellery is made in vermeil - recycled sterling silver dipped in at least 2.5 microns of recycled gold. This is five times thicker than average gold plating and more durable. Some of the chains and thicker earrings are made in gold dipped discarded brass with at least 2 micron thickness of solid recycled gold. Amadeus also adds a layer of anti-tarnish to further improve durability. Their brass is nickel-free and cadmium-free. 

Amadeus now only uses pre-loved gemstones and sea pearls purchased secondhand and then cut to size in their studio. The reason they opted to do this is that sourcing ethical stones is difficult, in part because there are no established bodies tracing gemstones from mine to market.
