Nadia is the designer and founder of NADIA RIDIANDRIES, a womenswear and jewellery brand based in Sydney, Australia. She holds a Bachelor of Design in Fashion and Textiles (Honours) from the University of Technology, Sydney. NADIA RIDIANDRIES began as a creative outlet, driven by a desire to experiment with repurposing materials instead of letting them go to waste. Nadia launched her small business in 2014 on Etsy, initially operating under the name 'Nineties Zephyr,' before relaunching it in 2021. With a background in fashion and textile design, she developed a growing interest in exploring other mediums, including wire metalwork and silversmithing. The brand is known for its unique, handmade jewellery crafted primarily from recycled metals and featuring natural gemstones sourced both locally in Australia and globally. Nadia's intuitive design process allows the materials to shape her creations, resulting in fluid, organic, and timeless pieces that can be cherished for generations. Her designs are made for everyone, intended to be worn anywhere and by anyone.
