About Nicole

Nicole Tsiailis is a Cypriot jewellery designer creating contemporary, handcrafted pieces that balance artistry, heritage, and modern form. Based in Lefkosia (Nicosia), Cyprus, she has been working under her own studio, Nicole Tsiailis Limited, since 2009.

Her design approach is rooted in the dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics. Each piece is shaped with intention, exploring refined minimalism, sculptural silhouettes, and tactile detail. Drawing subtle inspiration from Mediterranean culture and organic forms, her jewellery reflects a sense of timelessness while remaining distinctly modern.

Nicole’s work has been featured in Fashion Portfolio (2014), a bilingual publication curated by Art Gallery Morfi that highlighted forty-five leading Cypriot fashion and accessory designers. This recognition placed her among a new generation of creatives contributing to the evolving identity of Cypriot design.

Working in small series, Nicole values quality, material integrity, and thoughtful design over mass production. Through her studio, she continues to develop collections and collaborations that celebrate contemporary jewellery as both wearable art and personal expression, contributing to the visibility of Cypriot craftsmanship locally and internationally.

Studio Philosophy

At the heart of the studio is a commitment to intentional design and craftsmanship. Each piece is created with focus on form, material, and balance, valuing simplicity over excess and quality over quantity.

Jewellery is approached as a personal object — shaped by hand, designed to endure, and meant to become part of everyday life. Subtle variations and textures are embraced as marks of the making process, reflecting the human hand behind each piece.

Rooted in contemporary design with quiet references to Mediterranean culture, the studio values timelessness, restraint, and authenticity. Every piece is made to be worn, lived with, and kept.
