Nikki Nation

Nikki combines process-driven design with time-honored techniques to craft contemporary jewelry for the modern wearer. Her journey into jewelry-making began during her undergraduate studies, where she was trained in traditional metalsmithing. Today, she incorporates hammering, forging, forming, stone setting, and torch work into each of her pieces. Nikki's mission is to create one-of-a-kind jewelry that tells a story. Her designs are deeply rooted in her love of process, form, texture, repetition, and pattern. She often uses contrast to highlight and elevate the shapes and motifs within her work. Every piece is handmade by Nikki and her team in her Denver, Colorado shop and studio.
