nikollë radi is a Kosovar jewelry designer based in New York City. Working primarily in platinum and 18k gold, he crafts each piece by hand, weaving traditional techniques with a forward-looking approach. His jewelry balances respect for heritage with a drive toward innovation, creating designs that are both enduring and alive with possibility.

Radi’s connection to the craft began in his family’s shop in Croatia, where as a child he learned to shape and experiment with precious metals. After formal training in Zagreb, he moved to New York in 2006 and discovered platinum. The strength and versatility of the material expanded the scope of his practice, and it remains central to his work today.

With a precise and inventive approach, Radi often builds his own tools to realize the textures and patterns unique to his jewelry. Each piece reflects his belief that craftsmanship is not only about technique but about creating objects that carry lineage, integrity, and imagination.
