Because of her choice of metals and gemstones, jewelry designer Nina Basharova's collections can be ranked in the area of fine jewelry. Yet, her designs have a little more going on than your average jewelry shop fare. She describes them: "My designs are based on a harmony of balance and contrast in colors and textures, light and dark, high sophistication and street-style chic."

So, yes you'll get your gold, palladium, and chunky precious stones, but you'll also get some hip designs.





While you can't buy her jewelry through her web site, you can find some of her pieces from her Milky Way Collection at The Artful Home.
