The Accidental Icon: The Story Behind Our Gold Ball Collection

Some of the best ideas aren't planned at all. They just... happen. Our Gold Ball Collection, a firm favourite among our customers, is the perfect example of a beautiful accident.

It all started back in 1998 in a makeshift workshop at home. The goal wasn’t to create a new collection; it was just to play. I was experimenting with different materials, literally just messing around with bits and bobs, when a simple design suddenly came together. It was a single gold ball on a delicate, polished band. The design was clean, understated, and had a charm that immediately felt right.

It just clicked. There was something about its simplicity and organic feel that perfectly captured the spirit of Nude Jewellery. It was honest, effortless, and a little bit different—exactly what our brand is all about. From that day on, I've been making that little gold ball ring regularly. It became a piece that resonated with me and, to my delight, with so many of you.

Over the years, the Gold Ball Ring has grown into a collection, but it has never lost its core identity. Today, we still handcraft each piece, ensuring it has that same special, accidental magic that started it all. The collection has expanded to include different styles, and we’re thrilled to now offer a stunning Rose Gold option to complement the classic Yellow Gold. The addition of this romantic, warm metal breathes new life into the iconic design while keeping its authentic soul intact.

It’s pretty cool how some of the best ideas just pop up when you're least expecting them, isn't it? The Gold Ball Collection is a testament to that. It's a reminder that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places and that a simple idea, born from creative play, can become a timeless icon.

Whether you've been a fan of the original since the beginning or are just discovering the charm of this unique collection, we’re so happy you’re a part of its story.
