Nikola Jewelry: Handcrafted Science, Medical & Engineering-Inspired Designs
At Nikola Jewelry, named after the brilliant physicist, Nikola Tesla, we blend the brilliance of science with the elegance of handmade craftsmanship. Our unique pieces pay homage to the wonders of engineering and the natural world, from molecular structures like serotonin and dopamine to the iconic innovations of Nikola Tesla himself. Whether you're drawn to the beauty of a double helix necklace or the precision of brain earrings, our designs offer a wearable tribute to the genius of human discovery.
Each piece is thoughtfully crafted by laser cutting stainless steel and plating in silver or gold. Nikola Jewelry a perfect fit for thinkers, makers, and dreamers alike.
Nancy Van Prooyen
I’m a PhD scientist, writer, and artist based in San Francisco, California. During the day, I spearhead innovative research in cancer and autoimmune disease treatments, while by night, I express my creative side through writing and art. Having grown up in a household where both creativity and logic were equally valued, I developed a deep passion for blending science with creative expression. As the founder of Nikola Jewelry, I design and craft pieces inspired by the beauty of science, mathematics, and medicine.
