The artist behind our Artisan Collection.

Meet Nancy—or as her family lovingly calls her, Nonnie. 💛

Nancy is the creative heart behind Prickly Pairs' Artisan Collection. With an eye for beauty and a passion for craftsmanship, she transforms everyday materials into jewelry that's full of personality, charm, and story.

For as long as anyone can remember, Nancy has been creating. From sewing and woodworking to home remodeling and painting, making beautiful things has always come naturally to her. But jewelry design quickly became her favorite creative outlet—and today, it's where her imagination truly shines.

Nancy loves giving new life to unexpected materials. Vintage treasures, reclaimed pieces, natural elements, leather, wire, wood, and recycled finds all become part of her creative process. Every design is thoughtfully handcrafted with the goal of creating something that feels truly one of a kind.

She believes jewelry should do more than complete an outfit—it should make you feel confident, expressive, and unmistakably yourself.

Her philosophy is simple:

When you find the right piece of jewelry, it should make you smile every time you wear it.

That belief continues to inspire every Artisan design she creates.

While our Everyday Collection is designed for effortless, grab-and-go style, Nancy's Artisan Collection brings handcrafted character and creativity to your jewelry box. Together, they're made to mix, layer, and tell your unique story.

Whether you're searching for a bold statement piece, handcrafted earrings, or something beautifully unexpected, Nancy hopes every design helps you express your own signature style—and wear it with confidence.

— Nancy 💛
