The Dharma Stone bracelets are one of our most popular collections, and with good reason . The line is inspired by - and serves as a tribute to - our shared spiritual heritage as members of the collective human family. The ancient societies of eras now long gone, from one end of the world to the other, all shared a deeply reverent appreciation of the spiritual side of life . Sadly, this is left by the wayside much too often in our modern societies, and this has left many of us longing for a connection to something unseen, unknowable, and…
When Craig was being picked on in grade school for not enjoying sports and jeering at girls on the playground, I was not surprised when the phrase “gay” was used more than a few times at his expense. He often just shook it off in the same way you might with any other playground insult. One day in ninth grade, he told me that he had something very important to tell me and to meet him at the park ASAP. I was just about as nervous as anyone whose best friend “needed to talk to them ASAP” would be. I…

The National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation defines a “survivor” as anyone living with a history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life. The point of the observance of National Cancer Survivors Day is to realize that the diagnosis of cancer is not the end, and that life after diagnosis can be meaningful, productive and inspiring. June 1st, National Cancer Survivor Day, provides an opportunity for all people living with a history of cancer – including America’s nearly 14 million cancer survivors – to connect with each other, celebrate milestones, and recognize those who have…

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…
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…
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…
