Memories, moments, and secrets are woven into the custom jewellery we make our own. Each intricate detail reflects the steps you take, the places you call home, and the sweetheart you call yours.

From the beginning of the process, Kelsey was a pleasure to work with. She listened to my ideas and wanted to find more about the story behind my custom ring. She presented me with a ton of ideas and then worked with me to finalize the design. She responded quickly to all my questions and worked incredibly quickly from the design to the finished product. I couldn’t be more happy with the beautiful final custom jewellery piece. I think she captured exactly what I wanted, and I will treasure it for years to come. I would recommend NVR NUDE to anyone looking to develop a personalized piece of handmade jewellery that tells a story while also being beautiful. Thanks, Kelsey!
Kelsey is wildly creative + such a multi faceted woman, it’s always such a pleasure to work with her. Her attention to detail, her wisdom, + her ability to really listen + FEEL through the story of what a piece of jewellery stands for is incredible. Quality, integrity, heart + creativity … NVR NUDE is IT.
I’ve worked with Kelsey to create 3 pieces through our design relationship; she’s easy to work with and I find what I envision is effortlessly brought to life. I’m grateful to have her creativity and spark in my treasured network of creative women. Looking forward to our long future of creations, together.

Kelsey was a dream to work with! I had a difficult request: I wanted to combine my grandmother’s ring with my partner’s grandmother’s ring, into a modern engagement ring (two types of gold and 9 diamonds of varying sizes). Kelsey not only reassured me it was possible but got me excited about the process and discussed with me how we could integrate all the cultural, historical, mythical, and personal, dynamics I wanted to pour into the ring; she also took into consideration my partner’s jewelry style with pictures I provided, guided me through aspects I have never thought about (like long-term wearability and comfort), and provided with four design options and helped me choose; truly going the extra mile at every corner. The final result is dazzling, far exceeding any expectations I could imagine, and most importantly, my partner absolutely loves it!
Meet you in Italy?
Our inspiration
With its bright, beach-inspired patterns and dome-like shapes, Signature Stripes is a tribute to the flirty freshness of time spent in Italy. These fun pieces of custom jewellery celebrate the iconic Mediterranean beach stripes on towels and umbrellas, with a nod to Italy’s arched bridges. Each NVR NUDE piece of handmade jewellery combines the cachet of a foreign locale with the simple beauty of everyday wearability.
