Nina Nguyen, a local Colorado designer, grew up in Central Vietnam surrounded by a family of jewelers and goldsmiths. Her mother’s trading post was where locals came to sell their gold, panned from the Buon Ma Thuot River, which was then refined and used to create gorgeous pieces by Nina’s uncle.
In the late 1980s, her family’s jewelry business was confiscated, and her father was arrested and vanished for several years. With the help of family, Nina’s single mother took her and her five siblings on a journey to migrate to America seeking a better life. After a one year stay as a refugee in the Philippines, Nina’s family was eventually relocated to the Tampa Bay area where she started her life in the US. At the age of 12 she learned very quickly to adapt.
Years later, while on break from her finance career, Nina backpacked through India for ten weeks. She was mesmerized by the raw gemstones she came across - they were vibrant, colorful, and expertly faceted to catch light from every angle. Upon returning from her trip, Nina felt inspired to return to her roots and try her hand at designing and creating her own jewelry. She began creating intricate handwoven and crocheted necklaces out of gold and silver wire, allowing her creativity to soar while incorporating the skills she had learned from her uncle. She decided to forgo a promising career in finance and pursue her dream of designing her own jewelry.
“The road has been one of pure entrepreneurship; hardship, sacrifice, long hours, risk & reward. All of these I have endured, and I have absorbed everything the journey has taught me.”
With her showroom now located in Denver, Colorado, Nina is centrally located, and closer for her frequent trips to her design studio in Vietnam - not to mention the inspiration of the Rocky Mountains.
Geodes in a gorgeous mix of neutral colors form the Around The World Gold & Oxidized Bangle, which has an earthy, bohemian vibe. Its special hinged mechanism makes it easy to take on and off, whether you wear it on its own or stacked with other styles.

Genuine Geode: A unique stone found at least 100 feet below the earth's surface, gem-quality geodes have a hard, unremarkable rock shell with insides that reveal a variety of glistening quartz crystals and often secondary minerals or formations such as hematite, calcite, apatite, stalactites and galena crystals, just to name a few.
Metaphysical Properties: Geodes have healing energies and cleanse the mind and spirit of negativity. Some believe that geodes also have the power to help you find solutions to difficult problems, offering a light at the end of the tunnel, a little sparkling guidance when you’re on a dark path.

I absolutely love Nina and all the work she pours her heart and soul into. Wearing one, or multiple, of her one-of-a-kind pieces means constantly getting compliments and always getting a little extra boost throughout your day. Highly recommend! :)
If I could give 6 stars I would. Nina went so far above and beyond to accommodate me. I was honored to be able to purchase a pair of diamond earrings for my wife from her at 6pm on Christmas Eve! Not only were the diamonds of SUPERB quality, Nina was so incredibly kind and friendly & made the entire experience something I will remember and treasure forever. I will never shop for jewelry anywhere else! Also - check out her patented earrings if you have a chance - certainly will be my next purchase from her. Thanks Nina!!!
