"Inspired by elemental forms within Oregon's natural beauty, I seek to inspire and innovate through quality materials and time-honored processes. My passion for jewelry began with my exceptional respect for (and closeness with) my mother, Julie, whose artistic vision formed the foundation of countless material and shape combinations. In my studio in Oregon, I create and design each piece using valuable precious metals while paying close attention to detail and quality. 

Maintaining a consistent and exceptional product, I find joy in the charm and uniqueness of each handmade piece. Many pieces contain hammered gold or silver components paired with substantial chains. Designed and encouraged to be interchangeable, stacked, and layered, I believe in creating quality pieces that can be worn every day and reflect your special style." - A. Nicolai
