Nic Monks

Nic Monks is a Hampshire-based jeweller and silversmith who creates unique, handcrafted jewellery using recycled silver and salvaged materials. His work celebrates contrast, creativity, and conscious craftsmanship, combining traditional silversmithing techniques with a contemporary design ethos. By pairing precious metals with non-traditional elements such as salvaged Formica, wood veneer, and repurposed plastics, Nic challenges conventional expectations and highlights the beauty in overlooked materials.

After a career in IT and a life-changing personal experience, Nic retrained as a jeweller, driven by a desire to create meaningful, sustainable art. His collections are shaped by the materials he sources - ranging from defunct electronics to waste wood - and each piece tells a story of renewal and transformation. Nic’s jewellery is not only a celebration of individuality and craftsmanship but also a reminder of the value hidden in the discarded and the everyday..
