Behind H17

For the adventurous spirit and restless mind.

HOUSE17's mission is to empower self-confidence and expression, encouraging escapism through creativity.

I’m Nicola, the creator behind HOUSE17. After a 10-year hiatus from jewellery to pursue a career in eyewear design, I felt the need to dust off my tools and get back to the workbench.

Over the years, I’ve designed for several fashion and accessory brands ranging from high street to high end. In 2022, I decided to put that experience into action to help fulfil my dream of creating my own jewellery brand alongside my day job.

HOUSE17 reflects my passion for travel, nature, and the therapeutic benefits of creativity. 

 

Each piece is designed to evoke a feeling. Jewellery can tell a story or take you somewhere, it can inspire a connection with the world around us and the people in it.

Getting back to handmade was one of my main drives for starting my own brand. I use the ancient technique of lost wax casting for a lot of the pieces in the collection. Intricately hand carving each piece from wax, before casting it in recycled silver, then finishing by hand in the H17 workshop.

HOUSE17 is slow fashion, quality craftsmanship; sustainably designed and made in our East London workshop.

Timeless, thoughtful design for everyday wear.
