Congratulations Nicole Landaw!

During the busy week in August, when trade shows give way to the hot designers everyone will be talking about, new designer Nicole Landaw received meaningful recognition for her refined and ever-eloquent gold creations. Just days after Nicole’s unique gold and amethyst hoop earring was featured on the cover of - dare we say the ultimate nod – WWD, Nicole was awarded the 2007 Grand Prize Winner of the American Jewelry Design Council’s New Talent Contest.

Also featured on the cover of JCK’s Designer Issue, summer 2007, as one of “six designers we love,” Nicole has quickly become a designer we love as well. Her use of space between beautifully hand crafted gold, is fresh and light, while her details, crafting, and designs remain prominent and stunning.
