The Only Engagement Ring Guide You Need: Meet the Designer Creating Unconventional Heirlooms

If your heart beats for colour and the unconventional, then you already know the traditional path isn’t for you. Why settle for a mass-produced engagement ring that lacks the soul and character of your relationship?
I’m Nikki Galloway, the award-winning designer and founder behind Nude Jewellery. Since starting my journey in 2001, I’ve believed your engagement ring should be as unique and expressive as your wedding day. For the wildly romantic couples of Boho Weddings, your search for an heirloom full of personality starts right here.

Why “Nude”? It’s About Honest, Unfiltered Design

When I founded Nude Jewellery, the goal was to strip away the formality and expectation often surrounding bridal jewellery. My passion for distinctive design began at Central St Martins Art School in London, instilling in me an uncompromising eye for design and craftsmanship. This foundation led to early recognition and, in 2001, the opening of the Nude Jewellery shop in Mayfair, which quickly became known for its innovative designs and even earned features on Vogue.com.

Today, I focus my passion on bespoke and exclusive designs from my Surrey studio. This journey means that every piece you choose is not mass-produced; it carries my years of expertise, and an
unwavering commitment to celebrating the unconventional. I believe jewellery should be sculptural, tactile, and designed to look better with a life lived in them.

The Nude Aesthetic: Sculptural Rings for the Wild at Heart

For the couple planning a bohemian celebration, here are the three core Nude Jewellery elements
that resonate most strongly:

1. The Rise of the Wide Band

Gone are the days when ‘dainty’ was the only option. The modern boho bride is embracing rings with volume and weight. We champion the wide band and the architectural statement piece. These rings, often deeply textured or organically shaped, feel grounded and earthy.
Take our Crystallised collection, for example—it’s not just a band with a scattering of diamond and
gemstones; It perfectly captures that bohemian love for unique, substantial pieces that feel like
modern treasures.

2. Coloured Gemstones & Asymmetrical Designs

Boho is all about breaking the mould, why choose classic diamonds when you can choose a gemstone that speaks to your soul?

We specialise in using:

  • Warm Tones: Champagne diamonds paired with rose gold.
  • Coloured Gemstones: Deep sapphires, rich rubies, and colour clash that add more than a pop of personality against a gold or platinum band.

These stones allow for a truly personal expression that feels less like a purchase and more like a
discovery.

3. Ethics and Intention: Jewellery with Soul

The spirit of the bohemian lifestyle is often tied to ethics and earth. We understand that marrying your values is just as important as marrying your partner. That’s why we offer beautiful, high quality lab-grown diamonds, providing an ethical, conflict-free option that allows couples to get a stunning stone without compromise.
