NYAMI JEWELS MATERIALS

Sterling Silver 925 and bronze are the materials that I use most for my jewelry. I like to use them on their own or to combine the two metals together so to bring an organic  movement into the the design. I love pearls, so often I use white or pink pearls in my jewelry. One of my latest collection has  black pearls from the Cook Islands. The pearls are all firmly attached onto the jewelry by an invisible silver pin.

The pearls come from different places.  The white or pink ones are freshwater pearls and are farmed in carefully selected freshwater farms from the eastern sea.

The black pearls are saltwater pearls which come from the Cook Islands specifically from Manihiki farm, a faraway atoll in the Pacific Ocean.

 The Cook Island’s black pearls are one of a kind.  They are exclusive to Nyami collection in Italy.

The oyster which produces these pearls lives only in non-polluted warm seas. There are only 160 families which harvest these black pearls.  They take care to keep the ocean in that region clean thus ensuring a longer life for the oysters.

Usually bronze and silver are completely polished but in some collections they are left partially opaque to give the jewelry a natural look, sometime I even add a blue/green or black patina to enance the movement. 

In some collections precious natural stones such as diamonds (Gcolor), sapphires, tanzanites, rubies and aquamarines are used.
