The symbol as aesthetic
Each nianì creation is born from the encounter between meaning and aesthetic: the symbol becomes the matrix from which the jewel’s aesthetic takes shape. The symbols that run through nianì collections are not decorative elements, but ancient and universal languages that speak of transformation, protection, balance.
The Serpent, the Eye, the Chakras, the 5 Elements and the Wandering Stars belong to different cultures and times, yet they continue to resonate in the present.
Wearing them means entering into a relationship with a meaning — often during moments of change or inner research.
This is why each nianì jewel is conceived as a modern talisman: discreet, everyday, personal.
An ancient attraction, recognised over time
I have always been fascinated by symbols and by the meanings that cross cultures and eras.
Over time, this attraction has been nourished by readings, images, travels and observations.
Among them, the book Symbols by Taschen represented a clear sign:
a visual and cultural confirmation of a direction I already felt was mine.
Beyond the symbol: aesthetics, matter, imagination
Alongside the symbolic world, other inspirations coexist:
a passion for understated fashion, timeless elegance, the sea and shells, and a gypsy-inspired imagery made of freedom, layering and movement. All these elements shape the nianì universe, without ever forcing it into a single narrative.
The making: slowness, gesture, care
nianì jewels are handmade in Italy, following a slow and conscious approach.
Traditional techniques, such as lost-wax casting and rosary-style craftsmanship, meet an essential, never excessive formal research. Materials are carefully selected: silver, natural stones, cords and details designed to dialogue with the body and with time. Each piece is gold plated in 24k, carried out in Italy.
A longer time
nianì does not follow fast trends or seasons, but a slower rhythm, the rhythm of objects that accompany, remain, and gather meaning through the person who wears them.
A nianì jewel is a modern talisman to wear every day, a quiet reminder of who we are or who we are becoming.
The name
nianì is the acronym of the names Sonia and Anita (my daughter).
The name was born in 2016, almost by chance, as an intimate and personal sign. It is the starting point of a project that brings together life, creativity and meaning , even before becoming a brand.
