Nicole Akong: London based Jewellery Designer
Akong is a hot new designer label launched in January 2012. The simple ethos behind the design brand is to produce standout, statement pieces with universal high fashion appeal. Using luxe materials such as feathers and fur to all manner of chains, crystals and semi-precious gems and mercilessly edit each component until arriving at a finished design. Because each piece demands hours of intense labour, they produce only a limited-edition, capsule collection every season.
This season capsule collection of luxe statement necklaces by Nicole Akong pays homage o the traditional role of jewellery as the ultimate physical adornment to the modern world of high fashion. To execute the creative vision behind the collection, the designer searched far and wide for materials and techniques used to produce these exquisite handmade pieces.
Beautifully soft feather and faux fur trims are stitched into chunky 18-carat gold plated chains, embellished with crystals, glass, chain fringes, gold dangles and finished with velvet bows; delicate chains are woven together to produce shimmering and fluid ‘fabrics’ that can be worn as embellished collars and bibs - resulting in pieces that are both hard and soft; bold, yet extremely delicate. It is this wonderfully unexpected marriage of delectable textures and colours has come to be the distinctive signature of Akong London.
