About Cohar

At Cohar Jewellery, founded by Niquita in 2015 and now based between New Zealand and the Gold Coast, Australia, each creation is conceived as a study in form, texture, and symbiotic relationship. Drawing inspiration from architecture, natural structures, and sculptural elements, my craft is guided by an appreciation for balance, and enduring design.

​

With over 8 years of professional jewellery design experience for top-tier jewellery brands in Australia and a background in industrial design for retail environments with a lifelong immersion in jewellery making through family, my practice has evolved through both craft and concept. From an early age, I was drawn to making, repairing, assembling, and refining objects by hand, a foundation that now informs my approach to contemporary jewellery design.

​

What began as intimate pieces made for family and friends gradually evolved through word of mouth, forming the basis of Cohar as a considered and personal atelier practice.

​

Each piece is created with intention, where sustainability and innovation sit closely at the core. I work with recyclable metals and a conscious design philosophy, favouring longevity over trend and permanence over excess. Every object is designed to be worn, idolised, lived with, and eventually passed on.

​

Cohar is defined by a bespoke approach, offering co-created pieces that become personal heirlooms. The focus remains on craftsmanship, proportion, and emotional resonance, resulting in jewellery that holds both presence and meaning.

​

Each work is photographed personally using my favourite Sony macro lens, revealing the fine detail, cinematic composition within every piece, allowing the viewer to experience scale, texture, and intimacy.

​

Whether commissioned as a gift, a personal acquisition, or a future heirloom, each piece is approached with care and discretion. Cohar exists to create jewellery that endures, both in form and in significance, forming lasting connections between maker, object, and wearer.
