Nick Von K Blossom Eternity Ring 18ct gold with diamond and pounamu and Blossom Ring
When it comes to unexpected flair, Nick Klarwill, the creative mind behind Nick Von K, is renowned for his audaciously delicious jewellery collections.
The New Zealand jewellery designer continually surprises. His edgy rock ’n roll vibe has sparked eye-catching designs that capture the imagination as well as create an instant statement.
The eclectic Nick Von K brand delivers everything from seriously edgy designs (graced by the likes of Lady Gaga and Gin Wigmore) to bespoke engagement and wedding rings. And just as he continually evolves personally, Nick’s newest collection delivers yet another unexpected direction. It’s a surprisingly elegant and refined marriage of diamond and pounamu pieces, forming his first entire collection of gemstones and gold.
Nick has embraced working with pounamu for many years, but pairing this distinctive New Zealand stone (sourced from Hokitika) with diamonds to represent lush spring blossoms is a twist of genius.
The diamonds represent the white spring blossoms next to the pounamu’s fresh green leaves. The Blossom Collection delivers eight covetable pieces: six in gold and two in sterling silver, starting from $175 through to $4200 and available now online.
“For the last year or two, I’ve been playing around with beautiful high-quality gemstones and gold, and, in particular, with combining diamonds and pounamu together in gold rings,” he says.
“I found people really loved what I was doing and so was inspired to design the ‘Blossom Ring’, and then I loved it so much I decided to design an entire collection around the idea.
“I just think that perhaps these two stones are New Zealand’s favourite two gemstones and that they haven’t really been explored much together until now, which makes the collection really special.”
