Acanthus
Nichole McIver brings her expertise in two-dimensional studio art and art history to her passion for crafting personalized adornments, drawing inspiration from historical treasures. From the intricate designs of illuminated manuscripts to the hidden meanings behind Victorian mourning jewelry, her creations reflect a deep appreciation for the past. Working from her home studio in Central Minnesota, Nichole personally handcrafts each piece in the Acanthus collection, using oxidized silver, 14k and 24k gold, along with exquisite gemstones like rainbow moonstones, diamonds, and dendritic agate. Every step of the process, from shaping metal to setting stones and meticulously cutting gold motifs, bears the hallmark of her artistic touch.
