The creativity, the artistic talent and the names you need to know.

Nicki Marie Jewelry

Color, light and angles. Mirrors and metals. The components that make up the unique style of Nicki Marie Jewelry. Nicki has been handcrafting pieces for a number of years and brings her own aesthetic to each individual piece. In fact, no two pieces are alike. Focusing on excellent craftsmanship and wearability, Nicki is one of the hottest jewelry designers in the genre.

Nicki combines her unique pieces with a mixture of chains including gunmetal, antique brass and sterling silver. The ‘color’ in her pieces come from resin paint, handmade into various shapes and designs.

The aspect of her pieces that keeps clients coming back for more and even requesting custom designs, is that the pieces go with everything – daywear, evening wear and everything in between. Nicki’s designs come in multiple lengths for laying and can be worn individually as a single, simple but statement making piece.

Nicki has custom designed pieces for celebrities such as True Blood actress Tara Buck and renowned jazz singer Clairdee French. Her pieces have also been seen on multiple runways including NYFW and CMH Fashion Week, (The Official Fashion Week of Columbus, OH and the second largest Fashion Week in the Midwest), and red carpets such as BMI Awards and the Soul Train Awards. Nicki Marie is retailing in art galleries and high-end jewelry stores in the midwest.
