I'm Janina, founder & CEO of Nina Alwina.
In 2024, I decided: no more gold-plated jewelry. I can't resell it without a significant loss in value, nor can I pass it down. It's greenwashing.
Real gold has always been special to me – value-retaining & made for generations. But too expensive to treat myself to.
Second-hand seemed like the solution – but platforms full of dubious sellers, with no return option? Not a real alternative. What I was missing? A trustworthy brand. For real, pre-owned gold jewelry – with a right of return, fair prices, and style.
That's exactly what Nina Alwina is: second-hand gold jewelry, honestly curated and without the extraction of new resources.
I hope you find a piece here that will write history with you ❤️.
Since March 2026, we have a showroom in Berlin. Feel free to stop by and try on your favorite pieces in person.
Our PROMISE
Unique items with a story.
Each of our pieces has a past. A ring that has endured generations. A pendant that symbolizes love.
Our pieces are ready to write a new chapter with you.
Real gold, not plated.
Gold-plated jewelry was long an affordable alternative, but now even gold-plated pieces have become expensive – without offering real value.
We rely on real gold. Because it retains its beauty. Because it increases in value.
Sustainable luxury.
Every piece you find with us is hand-picked and authenticity-checked by experts.
Instead of mass production, we focus on lasting value and sustainability – for jewelry that lasts for generations.
