WHO WE ARE
We make high quality fine jewelry from ethically sourced and recycled materials. We believe what we wear is so much more than what we buy. No more rapid product cycles and increasing waste consumption. No more compromising. To us, awareness, impact, and community are (and always have been) the only luxe standard.

nunchi IS OUR MANTRA
Nun (🗣: noon) means eye in Korean and chi (🗣: chee) means force/power. When we (co-founders Jane & Michelle, hey there!) were brainstorming the name for our brand, we wanted a name that was true to our vision and ethos. “Nunchi” is an art of gauging how people are thinking and feeling. We harness a high context culture to strive for balance, equity, and social conscience.
BORN AND RAISED IN NYC
Everything you see is handcrafted by family-owned and immigrant-owned businesses of artisans right here in NYC. Every nunchi piece is an homage to local craftmanship.
RESPONSIBLY PRODUCED
Everything from production to packaging is designed to minimize waste and impact to the environment. We believe where your jewelry ends up is just as important as where they come from, so we focus on tightly curated assortments made-to-order.
Recycled Metals Only
All our fine jewelry is made from "old" gold and silver, melted down from scraps and leftovers. What others trash, we convert to treasure.
Ethical Sourcing
The vendors and suppliers we work with are internally vetted and audited. Mining-free and conflict-free is our motto.
Low Waste Movement
We only make what you buy. Everything from production to packaging is designed to minimize waste and impact to the environment.
