Discover Our Story,
Find out How to go North
NORD.
Nord - The Swedish word for “north” . Not only our founders last name, but a cultural and historic meaning centered around what’s north. Although ones vision and perception of what is “north” is subject to interpretation, what inspires us is typically what lies beyond the imagined set of tools that we are given in life, which is why we often use verbiage such as “shoot for the stars” and “the sky is the limit” .
When it comes down to it, the only way is up (pun intended). Which is why our brand aims to bridge the gap between the limits of your own mind and your highest potential. We want each one of you to follow your North star through allowing us to show you just how you can truly go North!
Charlotte
Of Swedish and Australian decent, now based in Miami, FL, Charlotte spent 9 years in Paris where she studied at Parsons- The New School of Design. She graduated with a BFA and a major in fashion where her main focus of interest was in print and textile design.
She fell into jewelry making through an interest of constructing “wearable face jewelry”, as a result of delving deep into the research on tears and their structure shown under a microscope, that reveal unique designs based on the emotions that were felt at the time. After completing a post-graduate degree in jewelry making from La Haute École de Joaillerie , enabling her to become a certified jeweler, she found the brands identity through travel and the desire to combine the south and north nodes, both geographically and astrologically as a nod to her own cultural heritage.
The undiscovered and paradoxical world has always inspired Charlotte and it is through her creations that she hopes to merge the two world’s of creative curiosity with scientific discovery.
With the help of the lost wax process, as some might know it ‘la cire perdu”, an ancient technique used throughout history in Asia and the Middle East, each one of our pendants is hand-made, designed and manipulated with heat to take a unique form while respecting the direction the wax wants to melt. We believe it is not only important to deliver a piece of jewelry unique to its future owner but to also appreciate the beauty of what can happen when we let go of some of the creative control and leave it up to nature, in this case; the wax.
Inspired by life’s imperfections
We have been, and continue to be, invested in our unique pieces with the purpose of drawing a parallel between an idea and a tangible source that will hopefully sustain a lifetime.
Our story started in Paris, from a small studio in the 16th arrondissement, NORD was imagined and created. The connection between hand and metal is one that has always been sacred to us. In a world of technological design and easy short cuts, our mission is to honor a process that carries a direct correlation form thought to practice.
Charlotte founded NORD in 2019 with a directional, sustainable and deeply personal approach to creating fine jewelry that mirrors her deep desire to impact the lives of others through helping each person she meets understand their unique abilities and power through a mind-body connection. She believes that what ever touches your skin has a frequency capable of changing your own energetic aura. In order to thrive to ones best ability, we must be careful in what we choose to wear, where it’s from and the intention behind it.
Each of our collections features compellingly simple rings and pendant necklaces with hand-carved textures. With a commitment to sustainability, all pieces are hand made from responsibly sourced recycled 10k gold, 18k Gold and 925 Sterling Silver.
There is a world that exists beyond what the eye can see and the mind can fathom. You are like the ocean, the deeper you go, the more you discover. It is only by getting lost that one can be found.
