The story of the Monies began in 1973, when Gerda and Nikolai met at a school for goldsmiths. They have been partners in business and life ever since and have developed their own unique style of distinctive, oversized jewelry throughout the years. The Monies view each piece as a sculpture, and they are committed to bringing out the full potential of the materials they use leading to jewelry that reflects the dramatic beauty of art, craft, and especially nature. Each piece of bone, horn, stone, or other natural material already has its own unique quality. The Monies’ craft is to bring these colors, textures, and shapes together in a synthesis of drama and individuality. Each piece is an artwork that radiates tranquility with a touch of magic.
