“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.
