Meet Tyler.
Namiko Designs started on the Sunshine Coast in 2012. "We" are a one-person venture managed by Tyler. Namiko Designs has been a slow burn and although we've been creating for over a decade, it's only been in the past few years that we've expanded the business side of things, breaking into the Vancouver Island market scene and selling in some brick and mortar stores! Each piece is handcrafted in our home studio on the unceded territories of the Snuneymuxw First Nation peoples. (Nanaimo, BC)
What is electroforming?
We use a unique process to create our jewelry. Electroforming, also referred to as electroplating, is a process that uses electricity deposit metal onto items. Over the course of several hours to days a thick layer of metal is 'built' onto an object, encasing it.
In this case, copper is used to plate natural elements such as plants and shells. This method allows us to preserve their original forms and intricate details.
We have recently started working with locally sourced recycled copper to further support our goals as a sustainable business.
