Melbourne-based purveyor AQUA Variety Store delivers custom goods—from t-shirts and home decors to and hats—and recently, the online retailer went on to pursue beautiful custom jewelry that pays homage to sportswear staples. The styles infuse jewelry pieces such as small pinky rings and necklace pendants with the design aesthetics of Nike jackets and sneakers. Notably, AQUA Variety Store uses premium materials such as gold and sterling silver to construct the goods.
Some standout pieces include the chunky rings that boast 'Tuned Air' and 'GORE-TEX' designs, nodding to the classic sneakers and durable outerwear. The round pendants re-imagine Nike's Swoosh in a pinwheel design and come with a chain. Finally, there is also a monochromatic keychain that takes on design elements of Nike ACG.
