Slow-made, handwoven beadwork jewellery.

One-of-a-kind pieces crafted in Wellington, New Zealand

Nahoko’s beadwork explores patterns, colours, and forms inspired by traditional techniques, folk art, and contemporary design.

Shaped by a commitment to mindful making, Nahoko’s limited collections centre high-quality and recycled materials.

New Collection: Meadowloom

Inspired by the botanical patterns and geometry of Scandinavian folk art.

Reinterpreted in peyote-stitch beadwork.

New Collection: Kikko

Inspired by the traditional Japanese kikko motif — a hexagonal pattern symbolising longevity and strength — this design reinterprets classical textile geometry through contemporary beadwork.

“I feel beautiful wearing the Furin earrings, and each time I do, at least one person asks where I got them from. Nahoko designs are unique and gorgeous treasures i have worn for years. Love!”

“I love my gorgeous Furin earrings, perfect for a special occasion and I wear either my Kikko or Sankaku bracelets every day, depending on the colours I am wearing. I haven't seen anything like the designs you make anywhere else.”
