Robyn Nichols is an international artist with a vision - a vision that the beauty of nature can be brought to life in the sculpting of precious silver and gold.

Robyn’s graceful and elegant jewelry and tableware are sold and collected across the United States, Canada, Australia, England, South America and the Caribbean countries. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution-Cooper Hewitt Museum (New York City) and the Contemporary Art Museum of Virginia Beach (Virginia Beach, Virginia). In 1990, Robyn was selected as one of the “Top 100 Designers” by Metropolitan magazine. The popularity of her work has lead to features in several national and regional publications, including ELLE Decor, Home, BRIDE’S Magazine, New York Women’s Magazine, Kansas City Home Design, Traditional Home, Romantic Homes, and Bon Appetite, among others.

Always inspired by natural beauty, Robyn continues to create timeless designs. Her unique work is rendered in her studio and gallery, The Pearl, in Kansas City, Missouri. With assistance from two apprentices, Robyn is able to fabricate her designs, and create limited editions and one-of-a-kind pieces in sterling silver. This also allows her to oversee a production line capable of creating multiples of her jewelry, tableware and sculptures. Her specialized private and corporate commissions have commemorated occasions such as conventions, honored guests, corporate and individual recognition awards, anniversaries and retirements.

A ‘79 graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute, Nichols is a self-taught metalsmith. Her materials include sterling silver and 18k gold. Fabrication techniques that Robyn uses in her designs include hollowware, shell forming, repoussé, chasing, and forging.
