Where it all began

How it all began…….

In 2009, Nikee took a bold step by purchasing the old florist shop nestled in the heart of Lee-on-Solent High Street. With a vision to transform it into her very own independent jewellery store, she embarked on a journey filled with dedication and passion. As a devoted mother to her two young daughters, Willow and Blossom, aged just three and one respectively, Nikee balanced the demands of family life with the challenges of entrepreneurship.

The journey to actualize her dream was not without its hurdles. The property required extensive renovations, with parts needing to be gutted completely and rebuilt to accommodate her creative vision. Nikee embraced the challenge, rallying friends and family to help bring her dream to life.

Finally, on the 1st of October 2010, after countless hours of hard work and planning, the doors to Eltikki opened, welcoming the community to a space that reflected not only her craftsmanship but also her love for family and design. The studio has since become a beacon of innovation and creativity in the heart of Lee-on-Solent, where each piece of jewellery tells a unique story.
