I am one of those lucky people who discovered their passions early in life. I sold beaded jewelry at my first craft show when I was ten years old and haven’t looked back since. I also enjoy writing, dancing and nesting with my family.
When I started Nina Designs I wanted to build a company where art and life could coexist with commerce. Our talented silversmiths deserve fair pay and good working conditions as do our amazing California staff. As a team, we usher new ideas from the drawing board to your hands. Creating products to inspire jewelry designers is an ongoing joy. I love knowing that our work at Nina Designs feeds the creative energy of so many talented artists!
Beadaholic - Beadaholic. Yes it is true, most of us at Nina Designs are hopeless bead addicts.
Gemstone Beads Have Meaning - Gemstone Beads are gorgeous, but they also have meaning. In many times and places, the meaning associated with a particular stone was more important than its appearance.
Jewelry Copyright Legal Action - Jewelry Copyright infringement is very common. If you do decide to take action, what are your options?
Enamel Jewelry - Enamel Jewelry offers endless color opportunities. Resin enamel has become a popular way to embellish sterling silver.
Silver Jewelry Philanthropy - Silver jewelry is our passion at Nina Designs but we are also commited to using our business to help create a better world.
Charming New Year - Our New Year's resolution is to hunker down and fill our pipeline with inspiring new silver charms and silver jewelry findings.
Green Silver Office - I recently presented our entire staff with designer commuter mugs to keep at work and use all day.
Copyright Jewelry - Unlike fashion designs, jewelry designs may be copyrighted under current law. To qualify for copyright registration, they must only be an original work of expression, in fixed tangible form.
Recycled Silver - Recycled Silver is in high demand these days. Did you know that 60% of the silver used in all of our handmade Bali sterling silver styles is recycled from production scraps?
Silver Jewelry Investment - As silver prices raise, we all face the challenge of repackaging silver jewelry as an investment and luxury item.
