Nina Newman is a jewellery designer, lecturer, and doctoral candidate at the Tshwane University of Technology, where she has been appointed since 2000. Her creative and academic work critically engages with identity, gender, and cultural narratives, with a particular emphasis on jewellery as a medium for self-expression and social commentary. She has published articles on contemporary jewellery and the ethics of commercial jewellery design. Nina continues to investigate how jewellery can reflect, question, and reframe lived experiences, especially within the South African context.
