, 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. Nambé does not contain silver, lead or pewter (a tin and copper alloy) and does not tarnish. Because Nambé's alloy is a trade secret, the Nambé company does not divulge the rest of the formula. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has declared Nambé safe for cooking and serving.

The metal is often sand cast and polished to a high luster to create aluminum alloy products such as serveware, cookware, bowls, platters, trays, dishes, plates, napkin rings, candle holders, wine bottle holders and coasters.

Similar metal alloys are Carson's Statesmetal and Wilton Armetale.

In 2001 Nambé introduced a line of 24% lead crystal serving pieces along with stemware and glassware. The new crystal pieces remain true to the Nambé artistic style and design. In 2006 the crystal collection included 64 pieces. View Nambe Crystal
