Nak Armstrong finds inspiration in nature which he reinterprets, deconstructs and reconstructs in pieces of modern jewelry art. He also explores, invents and perfects his own metalworking and stone-setting techniques to challenge and change the way the gems and metals interact, modify and redefine each other.

Green is the universal color of nature, leaves, meadows, oxygen-producing algae and life, recognizable to any person from any country and any cultural background. In his Bahia Banana Leaf Earrings, in emeralds, Ethiopian opals and diamonds, Nak offers the fans of his jewelry many variations of this luscious, upbeat, electric green.

Emeralds, 4.21 cts; Ethiopian opals, 3.08 cts; green tourmalines, 1.28 cts; diamonds, 0.74 cts; 20k rose gold.
