Nickel and Suede Reimagining classic jewelry since 2014 ✨ Home of the original leather teardrop earring with 1M+ sold. Made in KC.

Lightweight, nickel-free jewelry designed to make a statement- plus officially licensed game day collegiate styles. Nickel & Suede is a Kansas City-based fashion and accessory brand started in 2014 by Kilee Nickels, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. Our mission is to design accessories that offer just the right thing™ for every look

Privately owned and female founded- we have made and shipped over 1 million earrings worldword and employ 90% women. Shop N&S pieces in one of our three retail locations: Kansas City (2) and Dallas and over 50 retailers nationwide.​

After our founder, Kilee Nickels, was unable to find a gold version of her favorite statement earrings, she decided to design her own out of leather she had on hand from her previous accessories business. Little did she know that these teardrop statement earrings would spark a movement and introduce an innovation to the accessories market – lightweight statement earrings that leveraged the versatility, durability, and feather-light weight of premium Italian leather. Nickel & Suede’s statement earrings soon developed a cult-following and a community of women excited to try something new. Fast forward seven years, and what once began as a side project run out of the Nickels’ small basement workshop has now evolved into a national brand with three retail locations, and a design office and production facility based in Kansas City. Nickel & Suede has been recognized as one of Inc. 500’s Fastest Growing Companies nationally and #1 in the Midwest. Shop online or at our three retail locations: www.nickelandsuede.com
