Testimonials
Karen Brost, Fashion designer was asked recently in an interview with an eco wedding magazine in the US.
"Your engagement ring is wonderful...is it Emerald? Any story behind that?"
"Yes, there is. I told my husband early in our relationship that I've never been a fan of diamonds as they always seemed rather cold, pretentious and old to me. He seemed quite pleased when I told him that I'd prefer a giant Citrine to a small yellow diamond, haha. When the time came to look for an engagement ring, we turned to an incredibly talented friend of ours who does stunning custom jewellery Her name is Nikki Galloway and she owns Nude Jewellery I explained to her that I would like something that had a vintage 40's feeling to it and I'd love the overall feeling of the stone to be "joyful and eternal." She came back to us with the most incredible sketches and a breathtaking array of gems for us to choose from. Nikki said that she would not normally have chosen an emerald but this one was so light in color that it almost looked aquamarine. Tim and I fell in love with it and it then took her a few weeks to make the ring. I must have 5 women a week stopping to ask me about the ring and what is the stone."
"Thanks Nikki for fulfilling our expectations and then some!!" Karen Brost Whyte
“I would not hesitate in recommending Nikki. She is wonderful at making tiny ideas turn into excellent, unique pieces. She has made my engagement ring, wedding ring, my mums 60th brithday present and our ushers cufflinks. I also attended her jewellery classes, she is patient, funny and clear with her instructions in her classes - i thoroughly looked forward to every Tuesday night - huge amounts of laughter, chatter, sawing, soldering and a little bit of cursing on my part! As a result of these classes I was able to make my husbands wedding ring - which was very special. Her shop in Shepherds Market is a treasure trove of gorgeous unique things at both affordable and "special occaision" prices.” Heather Smith
“Nikki runs the most outstanding boutique jewellers in london. She has gathered together some of the best of the young designers coming out of the universities and colleges and markets their designs. She has a wonderful flair and ability to spot quality. As well as selling these she also makes her own jewellery which is outstanding both in quality and design. And as if that is not enough she will recreate deigns ( the wife's lost earing !) to perfection and repair the supposedly unrepairable pieces. Nikki is a really exceptional talent and a totally genuine individual who it is a pleasure to do business with.”Michael Rogerson
“Nikki Galloway's Nude jewellery is modern, creative, stylish and beautiful.. her shop, in a quiet corner of the lively Shepherds Market in Mayfair is a gem, an intimate space in which she has assembled a collection of her own and other designers' wonderful work. Made - by Nikki's own fair hand - on the premises, she can also create bespoke items to your own specification, sprinkling that special commission with her own unique brand of fairy dust. Nikki is that rare thing, a genuinely original and master craftsman.” Simon Dore
"Hi Nikki
Just to let you know my wife loved the necklace and she put all the guys to shame by telling them it’s a one off and know they hate me !!
Thanks again for all your hard work over the last few months and definitely worth it in the end." Tim Slater
“We had a really fun day making our rings – Nikki was so lovely. And we both still can’t believe how amazing they are. It’s been by far my favourite part of our wedding preparations and the most personal thing I’ll take away from the day aside from my memories. Every time I look at my wedding ring it’ll be a reminder of my husband because he made it for me!” Lucy White, London (Click here for more information to Make Your Own Wedding Rings)
“Making our wedding rings was one of the many hair-brained ideas of my wife-to-be. I was dubious, given my only previous, somewhat disastrous effort at making something ended in a tangled mess in my CDT class at school! Desipte all my fears, both rings turned out brilliantly, with Nikki proving an excellent and patient teacher. A great memorable experience all round and one I would highly recommend.
