Inspiring women to dream big with unique Australian quote rings.

Hello! My name is Nadine Naumov. I founded Design Bay Jewellery with a vision of inspiring women to work hard, believe in themselves and never give up. My love of art began in childhood, where I was constantly drawing in notebooks and creating new ideas.

My mother knew how passionate I was about art and hoped I would never give up on my dreams. When I was 17, she gave me an inspirational poem titled, ‘Don’t Quit’. I cherished the gift and believed it was those words that motivated me to become an artist and overcome the challenges I faced along the way.

I completed a Master of Visual Arts at Sydney University, followed by a Diploma of Gemmology One, Certificate III in Jewellery Manufacture and Certificate II in Design Fundamentals. I moved my way up from an Apprentice Jeweller to creating my own designs, winning awards and having my artwork featured on the cover of an international medical journal. It was an exciting time, but I felt I wasn’t truly living up to my potential as an artist.

It was a few years later at a meditation retreat where I first imagined creating a jewellery collection etched with inspirational quotes. I remembered the impact that my mother’s gift had on me and thought about how jewellery can empower us and make us feel special, even when we’re going through difficult times. I began sketching a collection of rings, inscribed with timeless quotes that I hoped would motivate and inspire women across Australia.

I love designing one-off custom rings featuring unique gemstones to help guide women towards their true life path. Gemstones, such as Nuummite, Tanzanite or Tsavorite to name a few, will take you on a journey of self-discovery and enhance your spiritual growth. Each custom ring is bespoke, with the option to choose your own quote or personal message.

Whether it’s a gift for someone special or a treat to reward yourself, your inspirational quote ring is designed to be treasured for a lifetime.

I’d love to hear how your unique quote ring has inspired you or brought joy to someone you love. Simply get in touch with your story, or any questions you may have.

Love and light,
Nadine
