Lily Griffin
Nicki Cliff draws inspiration from her love for Aotearoa in creating her beautiful jewellery pieces. She began making jewellery in 2013 to evoke memories of her childhood in New Zealand, where she spent lazy holidays camping and exploring beach rock pools. With a background in painting and sculpture, she experimented with porcelain paint and fine silver to handcraft her pieces in her Auckland studio, where she balances her work with caring for her children; Lily and Griffin.
