Our story

So many hands—and hearts—bring Nawi to life.
Hi! We are Daniela and Antonio, the daughter-father team behind the studio, based in Lima, Peru. Neither of us planned to work in jewelry, but at different points in life, it found us. Now, we can’t imagine doing anything else. It’s brought so much meaning into our lives, and we hope our pieces do the same for their creators and wearers.

Nawi’s mission is to empower Peruvian artisans and preserve our silversmithing traditions while offering jewelry that aligns with our partners' values. When you partner with us, you receive unique, high-quality, and handmade jewelry meant to last forever. We ensure fair wages and long-term job stability for our artisan partners, helping them build better livelihoods through their craft.

How we work

We partner with skilled artisans who create high-quality pieces. Our collaboration is built on their creativity and decision-making in design, production methods, work schedules, and pricing—all with the goal of supporting their workshops and helping them grow. All of our current partners are in Lima, Peru.

What’s in our future

We want to continue supporting our artisan partners in building stable businesses, from infrastructure and operations to fiscal regularization. We also want to keep expanding our network of artisan entrepreneurs and strengthen our community of like-minded projects in Peru. As part of these commitments, we are in the process of applying for a Fair Trade certification.

Design

We believe jewelry should be cherished forever—so we design ours to stand the test of time. Clean, modern, and versatile, our pieces are made to be worn every day and loved for years. Beautiful on their own, even better together.

We offer a permanent catalogue of jewelry essentials—timeless pieces designed for everyday wear. Alongside our Essentials Collection, we have two complementary lines: Signature, with pieces that have a Latin-inspired flair, and Pearl, featuring classic pearls with a modern twist. We also offer custom production services.
