I am a contemporary artist and the creator behind NIKOLLIER, a jewelry house where light, material, and elegance come together to create distinctive, one-of-a-kind pieces.
My artistic world is rooted in my childhood and in the influence of my grandmother, Julienne. Elegant, creative, and attentive to the smallest details, she had an instinctive ability to pair every outfit with a carefully chosen piece of jewelry. As a child, I could spend hours exploring her wardrobe, fascinated by her clothing, her jewelry, and the effortless way she transformed elegance into a form of personal expression.
Later, Michelle, my stepmother, dear friend, and mentor, introduced me to another dimension of creativity: creative expression through technique and design. Through her, I discovered sewing, learned to work with fabrics and materials, and developed a lasting desire to refine my skills. This passion eventually led me to further my studies at the Richard Robinson Fashion Design Academy, where I deepened my appreciation for
haute couture, form, texture, and composition. The artistic world has always been a natural part of who I am. Over the years, I have continued to refine my
artistic vision through specialized training, learning alongside remarkable artists, participating in shows and creative gatherings, and connecting with designers from around the world. Travel has also played an important role in my creative journey, exposing me to different cultures, aesthetics, colors, and perspectives that have continually shaped and expanded my artistic identity. This ongoing exploration naturally led me to the world of contemporary jewelry.
The arrival of my long-awaited son, Nikko, from South Korea marked a defining moment in my life and creative journey, and ultimately inspired the very identity of NIKOLLIER. His arrival brought a new sense of purpose, inspiration, and possibility to my world. Now 18 and a university student, Nikko is actively involved in the evolution of the company. His creative perspective, entrepreneurial spirit, and vision as part of a new
generation bring fresh energy to the house and contribute to its growth while preserving the story and values upon which it was founded.
In my studio, I work primarily with three materials that have become part of my signature: Austrian pearls, Austrian crystals, and handcrafted borosilicate glass. I am drawn to the refined elegance of Austrian pearls, the exceptional brilliance of Austrian crystal, and the luminous, almost sculptural character of handcrafted
borosilicate glass.
Each NIKOLLIER jewel is conceived as a wearable work of contemporary art. Materials, colors, volumes, andlight are brought together with precision to create high-end pieces that can be delicate or bold, but are always
distinctive. More than an accessory, each of my creations is an expression of beauty, light, and individuality.
Designed to be worn, not simply admired, NIKOLLIER jewelry becomes part of a woman's own expression, from everyday moments to exceptional occasions.
The occasion does not define the jewel - the woman who wears it
brings it to life.
