Designer and jeweller Nicola Markus has worked as a scientist, writer and conservationist during
a career led by her passion for the natural environment.
Over the past fifteen years, she has been a senior manager with WWF Australia and Bush Heritage
of guises.
Nicki's work as a jeweller is strongly influenced by her love of nature and organic shapes. Her enthusiasm for jewellery and design continues a tradition that originated with her grandfather,
a German master jeweller who passed away before Nicki was born, leaving her a pair of earrings and his artisan genes.
Her current work focuses on combinations of silver, leather and semi-precious stones, and her
aim is to create pieces that are elegant and easy to wear and will endure over time.
