The Eye Behind Nikita Jewelry
Despina Georgiadis
Founder & Jewelry Expert
Despina Georgiadis brings decades of fine jewelry expertise to Nikita Jewelry. Raised in Kastoria, Greece, a historic center of Byzantine craftsmanship, she developed an early appreciation of natural gemstones, proportion, and the discipline required to work at the highest level of the trade.
After relocating to New York, Despina spent fifteen years at Harry Winston during a period of global expansion, refining her expertise in gemstone evaluation, high jewelry, bespoke commissions, and complex execution. Her experience spans rare stones, manufacturing, and global operations, shaping a precise understanding of value, integrity, and longevity.
Nikita Jewelry reflects that experience. Each piece is guided by judgment rather than trend, centered on natural gemstones selected for character, quality, and permanence.
Decades Inside Fine Jewelry
Despina’s career has been defined by depth rather than speed. She has worked closely with diamond site holders, colored stone miners, master cutters, and world class manufacturers, developing a comprehensive understanding of sourcing, grading, and execution.
Her expertise extends beyond design into advisory work, guiding collectors and high net worth clients in the acquisition of natural gemstones with a focus on quality, provenance, and long term value.
This breadth of experience informs every decision at Nikita Jewelry, from stone selection to final proportion.
The Nikita Jewelry Philosophy
Fine jewelry should be intentional, personal, and enduring.
Nikita Jewelry creates pieces designed to be worn with ease and relevance over time. Collections are not trend driven. They are built around balance, restraint, and the inherent beauty of natural gemstones.
Each piece is made to live beyond the moment it is acquired.
Explore fine jewelry designed for everyday wear and lasting relevance.
From Everyday Fine Jewelry to Bespoke
Our fine jewelry collection spans everyday pieces and one-of-a-kind bespoke commissions.
Nikita Jewelry offers a curated e-commerce collection available for immediate purchase, alongside bespoke commissions for clients seeking something deeply personal.
Each bespoke project is guided directly by Despina, beginning with a conversation and shaped by her expertise in natural gemstones, design, and execution. Every commission is approached with the same rigor and respect as the most significant pieces of fine jewelry.
Our Atelier
Located on Fifth Avenue in New York City, the Nikita Jewelry atelier is where bespoke commissions are designed and executed with rigor and precision.
Working with a highly experienced team of master craftsmen, each piece is developed through a focused, one-on-one process that prioritizes proportion, stone integrity, and long-term wearability. Natural gemstones are selected individually and transformed into finished pieces through disciplined execution rather than mass production.
That experience informs every piece we create, from first sketch to final setting. The atelier supports both private commissions and complex custom projects, ensuring that each piece meets the standards of fine jewelry in design, craftsmanship, and longevity.
