Our Story

Jewelry Made to Live In.

851 was Nia's childhood home address—the place where, at 15 years old, she first started making jewelry at the kitchen table. What began as something she simply loved never really stopped.

In 2016, Nia and Nick turned that lifelong love of jewelry into Eight Five One.

The idea was simple: create beautiful, elevated jewelry women could actually live their lives in. Pieces that didn't need to be saved for special occasions or taken off every time life got messy.

Jewelry you never have to take off.

Today, Nia still designs every piece with that same intention—timeless enough to wear for years, effortless enough to wear every day, and made for everything that happens in between.

From a kitchen table to two Idaho stores and thousands of women wearing Eight Five One across the country, a lot has changed.

The reason behind it hasn't.

We believe jewelry should make you feel beautiful—not just on special occasions, but every single day.

Shower. Sweat. Swim. Sleep. Repeat.
