about NIXIN

What's in a name?

The most frequently asked question we receive about the company here at NIXIN Jewelry is, "Where does the name NIXIN come from?"

If you hadn't already guessed, it draws on Nicki's name, but there's more to it than just that.

It also appeals to her minimalist aesthetic...but there's still something more behind it.

Perhaps you noticed, NIXIN is a palindrome — a word that is identical when spelled forward or backward.

 

 

Yet even more special, it's also an ambigram — it can be flipped upside down and remains unchanged.

For Nicki, this pattern of a word cycling back into itself represents her own path in life — a recurrent return to her innate passions.

(Although, if you ask her friend Dave, he'll tell you NIXIN was his nickname for her in college.)

 

Where is NIXIN?

NIXIN is based in Los Angeles, California where each piece of fine jewelry is hand made by local artisans. Your pieces are made with intention and love.
