"A Nak for Fashion"

Anthony Nak was a popular Austin, Texas based fine jewelry line, until the brand shuttered in March.  Co-creators Nak Armstrong and Anthony Camargo created the line more than 10 years ago after a chance meeting in New York.  Nak, a native of Texas, and California-born Camargo were in the city pursuing designing careers, and soon discovered their common passion for fashion. They relocated to Austin, TX in 1999 and the brand was born.

Anthony Nak jewelry used fine materials such as 18 carat gold, sterling silver and precious gemstones to create bold yet feminine pieces, influenced by nature and man-made architectures, and worn on the red carpet by Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Beyonce, Rosario Dawson and more. They were also commissioned to create jewelry worn by the Bush twins at the 2001 Inaugural Ball.  The brand went on to receive several awards and honors, winning Swarovski’s Perry Ellis Award for Accessory Design;  they were also a former finalist for the prestigious CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.

A few years ago the pair parted to embark on solo lines.  The Anthony Nak website no longer sells jewelry, and many retailers have now run out of their remaining stock.  Bernadette’s is proud to have a wide range of hard-to-find Anthony Nak designer styles for sale online.  Click here to browse these true collector’s pieces that will only become more valuable as these designers progress in their still young careers.
