Gen X and ’90s kids, this one’s for you. 💛
Goldstories just teamed up with San Francisco interior designer Noz Nozawa to drop a dreamy, ultra-nostalgic jewelry collab that channels all the playful, moody, and sentimental vibes of the 1990s—just with a major 14k gold upgrade. Think: hidden compartments, miniature treasures, and salt-and-pepper diamonds. ✨
The Collection:
- 💀 Skull Ring ($2,000):
A memento mori-inspired signet ring with salt-and-pepper diamond eyes, carved from lost wax. It's goth meets gold—aka “YOLO, but make it luxury.” - 📿 ’90s Locket ($3,700):
A spherical stunner designed to hold your tiniest treasures (yes, even a Polly Pocket). Set with a Portuguese-cut citrine and a chunky bail for styling. - 🧿 Stash Ring ($3,100):
Inspired by vintage poison rings, this turquoise-topped secret keeper opens up to hold a photo, a note, or your tiniest secret.
Designer Subikksha Balaje (Goldstories) and Noz Nozawa both describe the collab as something that feels “like home.” Each piece is a nod to personal memories, designed to feel both familiar and unexpected—retro silhouettes reimagined for right now.
💬 “We didn’t want a literal throwback,” says Balaje.
“We wanted to capture the feeling of the decade.”
💬 Nozawa adds,
“They’re weighty, practical, and packed with nostalgia. A little rebellious. A lot meaningful.”
Each piece is handcrafted in 14k recycled gold, merging sustainability with soul. And yes, they’re designed to be worn, touched, opened, and adored.
TL;DR:
If you loved the ’90s, tiny toys, and storytelling jewelry—this collab will hit you right in the heart. 💖🔐
