story is a journey of discovering the balance of life through her unique calling. Art and science, high fashion and nature, logic and spirituality; all of these have come together within her to create a perfect harmony for a designer of jewelry that is touching the lives of many in beautiful and impactful ways.

She came into the world with a love of animals, crystals, and nature. She found a true passion in the world of fashion. She knows fashion designers most of us have never heard of. Her love for all of these aspects of her life have helped to create a TRU story.

While she was pursuing undergraduate and masters degrees in social work, she met and married her husband, Joe. Nicole always remained connected to her loves of fashion and nature – following her heart although her head may not have known where it was taking her at times.

What began nine years ago as a hobby to design artistic and fashionable jewelry for herself became a mission: a mission to seek her truth and, in doing so, seek the utmost happiness for herself, her family, and all those around her. She now embraces diverse interests equally, unabashedly, and wholeheartedly which has brought to life her incredibly unique and breathtaking handmade jewelry. She believes, as well, that the properties of the stones and metals she uses in her jewelry help others in their daily pursuit of health and happiness.

Today, she knows this is her life's passion. Her jewelry is both fashion forward and timeless. It is a thing of beauty and of healing.

We are all unique, powerful beings like each piece of TRU jewelry. It is Nicole's hope that her jewelry and the energies that come from it will help those who wear it to find and live their personal truths.

Nicole and Joe live in upstate New York with their three children, three dogs, and one cat. A portion of each of the four lines are donated to local organizations.
