Born in former Yugoslavia, Nikollë Radi grew up in Croatia with his family’s jewelry shop as his playground. While experimenting with precious metals and gems there, he learned the ancient techniques from his Albanian heritage. In 2006 he relocated to New York where he was introduced to platinum and its properties. He filters everything through the vibrant city and makes his collection in a combination that allows him to take advantage of the fineness and strength that is platinum, and accent it with soft details of gold.
