Some connections just feel right. I first discovered Viktoria through her jewelry — I instantly fell for her playful, minimal Road Ring, and when I went to pick it up, we met in person. I was drawn to her gentle nature, her kindness, and her thoughtful, creative eye. She was also one of Nomad’s very first customers.

When I had the idea for the lioness necklace, and later, a duo mussel necklace, Viktoria was the obvious person to ask to help bring them to life. Together, we created two special pieces, both crafted by hand in Antwerp, both carrying a little more meaning than just their shape.

Viktoria is an Antwerp-based designer who grew up near Leipzig, Germany. With a background in fashion and embroidery (including time in London), she eventually found her true calling in jewelry, earning a Bachelor in Jewelry Design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. She founded her label in 2019 out of a deep love for handcraft. Her work is playful, organic, and sensitive, often blurring the lines between art and design — but most of all, it’s jewelry that puts a smile on your face. Every piece is handmade in Antwerp with a focus on sustainability and zero waste.
