“Forgiando bellezza dalla perfezione imperfetta.”

Herika is the face, hands, and mind behind the Nokike brand. She is a goldsmith and designer based in Florence, but she was born amidst the sounds, smells, and frost of Turin. From a young age, she began to explore materials, draw, and dedicate herself to craftsmanship. Over time, she cultivated a great passion for the world of art in its broadest sense, geometries, and aesthetics. In 2011, she decided to change course: one fine day, she rebelled against technology and discovered that she could create so much beauty with her hands. She abandoned her role as a web designer and opened her workshop of artisanal jewelry, where she develops her ideas by shaping the material. Herika works metal with passion, with a special eye for the less noble ones, enhancing their characteristics.

She is inspired by everything, especially nature and her travels, which represent a great source of inspiration for her. She is constantly in search of "imperfect perfection," giving life to jewelry with a contemporary style, often through forms with organic structures, inspired by nature and architectural and minimalist elements.

Her goal is to never stop evolving, studying, learning, and experimenting because her work is also her greatest passion. That's why she continuously deepens her knowledge of goldsmithing techniques and new processing methods to develop her creations and produce ever more unique and high-quality jewelry.
