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 […]
Maker: @adorejulesdesigns If no one’s told you lately…what you do matters. The time you spend imagining, arranging, experimenting… it all adds up. Whether you’re deep into holiday prep or just dabbling at the bench, your creativity is worth honoring. Handmade jewelry has this amazing ripple effect. 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 […]
As humans, we get caught up in the day-to-day busyness of our lives. Lisa Roger’s wearable stories try to combat that by celebrating the natural world. We have featured Lisa’s work throughout the years because it resonates with a sense of place. She has captured a market of customers who travel and connect to her […]
Jewelry has always been a way for people to connect. To loved ones. To ancestors. To memories that matter. A pendant or ring can become a symbol of love, a marker of a milestone, or a reminder of someone we hold close. Oh my goodness! @lisarogersstudio paints the loveliest, tiniest jewelry! Gorgeous beachy earrings by […]

I love art and the makers who create it. For me, art has always been my place of refuge. I love creating, seeing, and celebrating beauty. When the world seems to be turned upside down, I turn to art. It is my quiet place where I can connect with something greater than myself, where I […]
@jensajos Creating can be a lonely process. A process that may leave many of us wondering, “why the heck am I even doing this?” It is during these low points in our creative journey that we may need to pause and reflect on our purpose and what brings our day-to-day lives meaning. Having a line-up […]
For me, being a creative human can be an incredibly vulnerable state of mind. When I am being called to co-create an idea and choose to ignore that part of myself due to fear or doubt, there are consequences that I pay. Typically, the consequences take the form of sadness and depression. I think that […]
Two new charms are joining our 2025 August Collection—both with a hammered texture and engraved designs that add just the right amount of detail. Cast in the USA with imported lead-free pewter and plated in the USA with imported precious metals. Luna Moth I think the new luna moth charm that we are releasing today is […]
It comes with a heavy heart to learn that one of our community of makers has passed away. Gloria Beachey was a longtime member of the Nunn Design community — a thoughtful, intentional artist whose work and spirit left a deep imprint. She participated in our online classes, generously shared her process, opened an Etsy […]
I hold the belief that every one of us is creative. Some of us may be gifted as a trial lawyer, a plumber, electrician, builder, gardener or artist. Each person has their own unique ways of bringing forth why it is they are here on this planet. Creativity is a life force that runs through […]
As a product developer and artist, I enjoy observing the emergence and development of other artists. I have loved watching Laurie’s journey of incorporating imagery and blending her mixed media into unique pieces of art that tell rich stories. Art enriches our lives. Laurie’s creations greatly does this for me. She inspires me to be […]
We’re wrapping up our Summer Holiday and will be back at work on Monday, July 14th, ready to support your creative journey. In the meantime, we’ve updated our catalogue to reflect current pricing and the new format where some items now show price ranges—this happens when costs vary by plating (such as gold, silver, or […]
The ancient tradition of adorning oneself has existed since the beginning of humankind. If you watch a young child play, the game often involves adorning oneself in some playful way. Adorning ourselves is embedded in who we are. Being creative is also one of those embedded traits, hardwired into our DNA. I believe we are […]
