Since the start of the pandemic, our small team at NOGU has been trying to make the best of what we’ve been given - which has fortunately been easy to do thanks to your support. While we’ve thoroughly enjoyed launching new products, we’ve been evaluating the products we already have and experimenting with them, trying to reinvent and reconfigure our bestsellers. And we’ve come to a major realization. Our Mermaid Glass necklaces have had a hidden secret all this time. Even though they do a great job of being necklaces, they can do so much more. We were overjoyed when...

Father’s Day is coming up, and while we love our dads (or the special man/men in your life if you don’t have a dad) more than anything, buying for them can be a challenge. Undoubtedly, there exists something called “the dad code.” We don’t quite know what it is, but we can identify it when we see it - dads unnaturally love the free mint bowl at restaurants, they always grunt when they sit down, and they consistently tell us they’d rather not get any gifts. Granted, we love our dads and our father figures. We’re always hoping to make...

The small team behind NOGU firmly believes that life’s too short for meaningless jewelry. That’s why we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what makes jewelry jewelry, and our handmade Firefly Glass collection is no exception. Our Firefly Glass bracelets, necklaces, and earrings are the upgraded, luxury version of the glow-in-the-dark jewelry you enjoyed as a kid (because there’s no age limit on cool things, tbh). Even when they’re uncharged, they sparkle in the daylight like diamonds. But don’t get us wrong - they sparkle something crazy in the nighttime after you charge them.Because our Firefly Glass collection is so different, it...

Time and time again, we’ve partnered up with meaningful charities and causes - and our new fair trade Himalaya collection is no different. Each glass bead bracelet is carefully handmade by women artisans in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal; no two bracelets are identical, and many of our styles have very little stock. Where today’s western world places importance on modern, clean, fast-paced beauty, the Himalaya collection highlights the beauty in the unique, in the rustic imperfections. This collection isn’t about bulk manufacturing. To the Nepali people, there is no greater beauty than the authentic, ancient, traditional culture woven into...
