ROAD

Los Angeles, California

ROAD was created and designed by Nicky Shemian, in pursuit of becoming a butterfly and flying her own road. Raised in a multi-cultural home, her unique style was born. From a young age Nicky preferred shopping for jewelry over clothing. Motivated by her creative nature and desire for impact, she has committed herself to building a brand that is devoted to making a creative difference while at the same time investing back into global communities.

Who is the ROAD woman?

The ROAD woman is natural, confident, and bold. ROAD is created for the eccentric woman who follows her own mantra.

What is your daily jewelry uniform?

I wear earrings, multiple rings, layers of necklaces, a couple of bracelets on each hand, a slave bracelet, a toe ring, and an anklet. If you couldn’t tell already, I don’t believe there’s such a thing as too much jewelry.

What is the most sentimental piece of jewelry you own?

A family member who is very dear to me gifted me a vintage Iranian coin that she had brought back to the US when she fled the Iranian Revolution in 1979. I made this coin into a necklace and with intention designed it so that the coin sits close to my heart.

Where did you draw your inspiration from for your first collection?

This collection is inspired by the women who embody the ocean's natural essence. I believe that like a pearl, women don’t need polishing to reveal their natural beauty. Every piece in Collection I contains the oceans most beautiful gemstone, pearls.
