You Are Part of a Longer Story

Handmade 18k gold rings inspired by ancient goldsmithing and architecture.

Created for today’s milestones.

Made to become tomorrow’s heirlooms.

Some objects stay with us

Most possessions pass through our lives unnoticed.

A few become part of our story.

An engagement ring.

A wedding band.

A gift given to mark an important moment.

These are the objects that gather meaning over time.

Jewelry has always been more than an ornament

Long before us, goldsmiths shaped precious metal by hand and builders created works intended to outlast their own lifetimes.

Although styles have changed through the centuries, the desire to create something beautiful, celebrate important moments, and leave something behind remains unchanged.

Rings by NK brings together ancient craftsmanship and contemporary design to create modern heirlooms for today.

Contemporary Heirlooms

Each ring is individually handmade in 18k gold.

No mass production.

No production runs.

No identical replacements.

Every piece exists as its own work.

About the Maker

Every Rings by NK piece is designed and handmade by Nathan King in Manila.

Drawing inspiration from ancient jewelry, architecture, and contemporary design, Nathan creates one-of-one pieces intended to be worn, lived with, and ultimately passed forward.

Craftsmanship

Made By Hand

Traditional goldsmithing remains at the heart of every Rings by NK piece.

Granulation—one of jewellery’s oldest and most demanding techniques—is used throughout the collection.

Hundreds of individual gold spheres are created, positioned, and fused by hand to build texture, detail, and character.

The process is slower.

The result is unmistakably human.

Commissions

Created For Your Story

Some clients discover a completed piece.

Others begin with an idea.

A commission allows a ring to be created around a particular moment, relationship, or milestone.

Only a limited number of commissions are accepted each year.
