ABOUT THE DESIGNER
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Changed Impressions began as Shanika (aka Nik B.) embarked on a deeply personal journey of healing and transformation, mirroring the chrysalis stage—a moment of profound change before a butterfly emerges in its full beauty.
Five years ago, she leaned into her faith in God while also attending therapy, to process past wounds, leading her to a place of healing and renewal.
In those early days, hand-stamping encouraging words onto jewelry became a creative outlet to inspire others while nurturing her own growth.
Today, Changed Impressions celebrates the beauty of transformation, crafting timeless, handcrafted pieces that reflect personal growth and artistry. Specializing in 14k gold-filled and solid gold designs, Shanika offers custom options to create meaningful jewelry that tells individual stories.

Nik embraces the art of slow fabrication, ensuring every made-to-order creation is as intentional as it is elegant.
Her metalsmithing journey as a jeweler began with a dream and a handcrafted bangle made for her 1-year-old daughter. That single piece sparked a desire to refine her craft, leading Nik to study stone setting and fabrication.
Today, she works from her garage studio and the OQZO studio in Hillsborough, with an aspiration to create/design heirloom-worthy designs that honor life’s meaningful moments.
When she’s not designing, Nik cherishes deepening her faith and spending quality time with her hubby, daughter, family, and friends. 😊
