Nicholas has always been inspired by water, in particular the ocean. This beautiful element of nature has influenced his watercolour painting (read more about that here), as well as his jewellery design. See some of his favourite sea-inspired designs below:

Water has clearly inspired other jewellers around the world, including the designers and jewellers at Sorab and Roshi. See some of their gorgeous, whimsical ocean-inspired pieces below:
