There’s an old practice in Japan where broken pottery is repaired with gold. Not to hide the damage, but to honor it. It’s called kintsugi, and it’s a reminder that the things we mend often become more beautiful than they were before. This faux-kintsugi technique from the Nunn Design archives comes from Nunn Design team […]

We created this new grouping of charms to highlight a shared design detail we love: a raised edge that forms a shallow lip. These charms feature a central image in relief, framed by that subtle rim, making them perfect for colorizing with resin, epoxy clay, or other mixed media techniques. You’ve probably come across these charms before […]
Today is my last day in the warehouse shipping all of your orders. On Monday I will travel to India for six weeks where I plan to study yoga and Hinduism. Traveling has been part of my creative path since I was very young. It has challenged me to step outside of my day-to-day life […]

Something you create in the quiet of your studio ends […]
Fall has a way of inviting us to slow down and take notice – the colors deepening, the light softening, the air filled with the scent of wood smoke and fallen leaves. This week, we’re celebrating fall through the eyes (and hands) of the Nunn Design community. These featured pieces reflect the feelings that make […]

Gorgeous beachy earrings by […]
