MATERIALS

At NKV, every piece of jewellery begins with carefully selected, high-quality materials. We work with elements that are not only beautiful but also ethical, comfortable to wear and long-lasting — because your jewellery should feel just as good as it looks.

LIGHTWEIGHT & ECO-FRIENDLY

WOOD

Our wooden bases are sourced from responsibly managed suppliers.

Wood allows us to create ultra-light, comfortable jewellery while giving each piece a natural warmth and structure.

We individually cut, shape and sand every base by hand.

The subtle textures in the wood make every piece slightly unique even before the painting begins — a natural canvas that adds character and depth.

SAFE, DURABLE, VIBRANT

PAINTS & VARNISHES

All colours used in NKV jewellery are:

  • water-based,
  • eco-conscious,
  • non-toxic,
  • skin-safe,
  • and protected with UV-resistant, water-repellent sealants.

This special finishing process keeps the colours bright, the patterns sharp and the surface durable — so your jewellery stays beautiful for years.

HYPOALLERGENIC & LONG-LASTING

METAL COMPONENTS

We pair each hand-painted piece with high-quality metal elements designed for comfort, durability and everyday wear.

Our selection includes 925 sterling silver, gold-plated sterling silver, and stainless steel — all chosen for their clean shine and skin-friendly properties.

These materials are:

  • hypoallergenic
  • nickel-free
  • lightweight
  • comfortable for long wear

Sterling silver offers timeless elegance, gold-plated elements add a warm, refined glow, and stainless steel provides exceptional strength and tarnish resistance.

Each metal complements the artwork without overpowering it, creating a perfect balance between craftsmanship and design.

WHY MATERIALS MATTER

We believe jewellery should feel good on your skin, be gentle on the environment and reflect a commitment to quality.

By combining natural wood, safe modern paints and premium metals, we create pieces that are truly unique — inside and out.
