The Inspiration
What is Nights in Shining Armour all about?
It's a collection is inspired by the noble art of heraldry, where shields and the symbols upon them contribute a sense of identity, protection, and courage.
And it’s a reflection of that divine, intoxicating feeling of dancing under the lights, under the stars.
"I wanted to create a line of wearable, everyday fine jewelry that flirts with the past and feels just right for the present. And I put care into choosing materials that are kinder to people and the planet: Recycled gold, ethically sourced gems, and eco-friendly packaging. My hope is that these are pieces you’ll feel good in – and materials you’ll feel good about – for years to come."
