The child of a sculptor father and dancer mother, Nicolette was raised with art as a part of her life. She has always been fascinated with the exquisite designs and craftsmanship of past eras, especially the Victorian, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco periods. These loves have been integrated into her jewelry by combining actual vintage glass and antique Victorian buttons with modern sterling silver settings, luminous pearls, luscious semi precious stones and sparkling Austrian crystal. Nicolette has been making and designing wearable art since 1988.
