About Nina Designs

Nina Designs was founded by Nina Cooper in 1991 to provide high-quality, innovative jewelry components to artists and bead stores. Our products are carefully designed to balance form and function. As artists ourselves, we strive to create designs that will inspire you to fully realize your own artistic visions. Our friendly, well-informed staff is available to assist you with any questions.

Most of the beads in this catalog are handmade in Bali, a small island in the Indonesian archipelago which is renowned for its artistic and cultural heritage. For centuries, Balinese artists have perfected their skills. Communities specialize in specific artistic traditions that are passed down from generation to generation. As a result, our silversmiths display superb technique and immense patience. Each bead is carefully made with exquisite detail. Every silver dot is individually placed, every surface patterned by hand. Each bead is a work of art. No two are exactly alike.

We are also proud to present lush Indian silver, sparkling Thai marcasite, rustic Thai Hill Tribe silver and a new collection of findings made in the USA.

All silver items are sterling silver. We hope you enjoy these treasures as much as we do.
