ABOUT

HOUSE OF SNAKES IS NIKKI ALEXANDER AND BOB ATKINSON.

House Of Snakes is husband and wife team Bob Atkinson and Nikki Alexander.

Both artists worked for many years in New York City with influential designers, Bob as design assistant to Melissa Joy Manning and Nikki as design assistant to Jane Diaz. During that time they did custom work for friends and family and eventually House Of Snakes was born as their own brand.

Bob and Nikki are both self taught jewelers and have a unique yet refined approach to their materials. Their line focuses on carefully crafted jewelry formed by hand, creating both delicate and statement pieces. They design pieces together and individually for their line and carefully select materials they use with sustainability in mind. House Of Snakes also includes Nikki and Bob’s other art works from embroidery to painting and sculpture.
