Revive Jewelry

Hi, I’m Nikki Zazzali. I’m a jewelry artist, storyteller and eternal optimist.I’ve been creating jewelry since 2016 in my Redondo Beach, CA studio, but my love for making started long before that. I hold a BFA in Crafts & Metalsmithing, and over the years I’ve honed my skills in a variety of techniques including resin work, wire wrapping, soldering and beading. What truly sets my work apart, and what I’m excited to share with you, is the heart behind each piece.Everything shifted for me when my brother was diagnosed with lupus and I lost my grandfather to lung cancer. In the midst of grief and uncertainty, I turned to my craft as a way to process emotions, connect with others and create meaning. That’s when I founded Revive Jewelry, a collection of handcrafted pieces that use cell images of diseases as the foundation for each design. These microscopic visuals are transformed into beautiful, symbolic jewelry that represents strength, remembrance and healing. I donate 10% of every sale to a cause connected to the image, so each piece serves as a small but powerful act of giving back.That same spirit of purpose and connection is what inspires me to teach. I've managed teams, led training programs, and love helping people learn new skills in a way that feels fun, approachable and achievable. Whether you're brand new to jewelry-making or already exploring your creativity, my workshops are designed to be hands-on, meaningful and a space where you can create something that truly reflects you.Just like with my jewelry, I’m excited to continue giving back through my classes. On top of the ClassBento pledge to NAMI, I’ll be donating 10% of class proceeds to a related charity, so every piece we create together will not only hold personal meaning, but also help support a larger cause.My work has been featured in many press outlets, such as: US News & World Report, KTLA 5, NBC, Authority Magazine, Boho Blue, and VoyageLA. I’m thrilled to open up my creative process to you through intimate, purpose-driven classes. You’ll leave with more than just a one-of-a-kind piece of resin jewelry—you’ll leave with a story, a connection and the knowledge that you made a difference.I believe art has the power to heal, connect and give back. I’d be honored to share that with you in my studio.
