About NONI by Colleen Hindarto Alford.
Born in Indonesia to a family of artists and designers, Colleen Hindarto Alford blends architectural design pedagogy with artistic intuition to craft exquisite fine jewelry. Founded in 2018, NONI—named after the Indonesian term of endearment for “girl”—celebrates individuality, personal storytelling, and the artistry of handcrafted design.

Inspired by nature’s forms, Colleen’s work is an intricate dance between inspiration and process. Her creative approach is rooted in curiosity and adaptability, choosing methods that best align with the exploration of each idea. From carving and melting wax to folding paper or employing computer-aided design, each technique adds a unique voice to the work.

Based in Providence, Rhode Island, NONI offers bespoke customization options, allowing clients to collaborate on pieces that embody their unique style and cherished memories. Each design reflects the dialogue between inspiration and craft, where both method and material shape the final piece.
