Nock Studios' Vision Takes Shape

Being one's own "Nock Out" isn't about forcefully taking up space, but about carrying one's expression with quiet confidence.

A world where jewelry is not just worn, but loved, inherited, and given meaning.

Nock Studios unites form and philosophy – with the ambition of becoming an international voice in quiet luxury in 14K gold.
With a growing community of women seeking both aesthetics and meaning, we are building something that lasts – beyond trends and expectations. We build with longevity as our guiding principle – for women seeking a deeper connection to what they wear.
Our growth is driven not by quantity, but by meaning.

Just as art and architecture carry a history, we want our jewelry to carry a feeling – of time, precision, and purpose.
We believe in jewelry as lifelong companions: designed with care, worn with pride, and refined by time, forms where strength and beauty unite.

Every detail is meticulously crafted to tell a story – of courage, authenticity, and presence. It's not just about aesthetics, but about intention and meaning.

A Founder of Dualities

Mix Stenberg (formerly Haxholm) is a woman of contrasts.
With roots in both Sweden and Thailand, she has been shaped by the balance points between movement and stillness – from the rhythm and artistic expression of figure skating to the focused precision of archery.

Her path from internationally recognized athlete to founder of a Swedish jewelry brand stems from a desire to create something enduring.
In an industry where youth is often prioritized over depth, she wants to make space for what is not always visible at first glance: life experience, craftsmanship, and inner strength.

Nock Studios was born out of a need to create jewelry that speaks to women with experience, depth, and direction – a target group long neglected by both the fashion industry and investment logic. Here, age, time, and cultural heritage take on a new form, in solid 14K gold – designed to be loved, worn, and inherited.

It's not just a brand – it's the beginning of a new story in modern luxury. Timeless, inclusive, and with international potential.

Nock Studios is her answer – a place where jewelry is not just worn, but rooted in the rhythm of life.

A Voice Behind the Stories

Storytelling, form, and connection have always been present in Mix's life.
As a former TV presenter, columnist, and communicator, she has long explored how words, aesthetics, and presence can touch – without over-explaining. Jewelry became her next language: a soft-spoken yet powerful way to express what often escapes words.

She was interviewed on BBC's international program Sportshour, where the conversation revolved around archery, the modeling world, and the journey towards something more enduring – a jewelry collection that carries time, experience, and identity forward.

The collaboration with BBC came about through Collective Visibility, a global network that champions female voices in sports and media.
Mix was discovered through the Stockholm School of Economics, where she deepened her entrepreneurial thinking within the framework of the school's FREE philosophy – a pedagogy that combines facts with reflection, empathy, and responsibility.

For Mix, entrepreneurship is not about visibility – but about creating grounding and presence.
Through subtle design, authentic materials, and long-term thinking, she wants to create connection – between people, between past and future.
It is in this serene encounter that Nock Studios takes its form.

Timelessness in a World that Glorifies Youth

In a fashion climate where youth is often prioritized, Mix has chosen a different path – a path that celebrates the strength that comes with experience, presence, and authenticity.

For her, style is not a facade, but a way of being – an expression of all that life already contains.
To be visible – not despite, but because of – what one carries with oneself.

I cannot live without fashion. It is my language. A way to be present in a world that sometimes forgets those of us who have lived and experienced.
Nock Studios is my tribute to feminine strength – a place where each piece of jewelry is a building block. A form that carries a story of time, precision, and purpose.”

Becoming Your Own Nock Out

On the way to designing her first collection, Mix fell in love with 14K gold – a material with both backbone and soul.
It was as if the gold itself carried the balance she increasingly valued – strong enough to withstand the passage of time, yet refined enough to be worn with pride.

“14K gold is for me a symbol of balance – a reminder that strength and beauty are not mutually exclusive.
It is a material that outlives trends and generations, and that ages with the same integrity as the women who wear it.”

Like gold, every piece of jewelry from Nock Studios is created to carry its own weight – and its own direction.
Being one's own Nock Out isn't about forcefully taking up space, but about carrying one's expression with quiet confidence.
A form for inner strength – that which matures with time.

A Creative Studio Where Strength Meets Beauty

Nock Studios is not just a brand – it is a creative studio.
A place where form meets philosophy, and where every detail carries a quiet weight of meaning.

The name Nock Studios is taken from the world of archery, where the nock – the precise, crucial point on the arrow – enables its trajectory towards the target. A detail so subtle, yet so essential.

By uniting Scandinavian minimalism with Italian craftsmanship, Mix Stenberg has developed her own design philosophy:
Scantalia™ – an expression where Nordic restraint meets Southern European passion, and where strength and beauty are given space to coexist.

It is here, at the intersection of structure and emotion, that every piece of jewelry from Nock Studios takes shape – with the intention of being worn, loved, and inherited.

For Mix, 14K gold is poetry in metal – a contemporary gold that combines durability and quality with elegant aesthetics. A long-term style investment for the modern woman.


Carrying One's History with Pride

A home, a craft – and a place to land. Today, Mix resides on the west coast, where, together with her husband Henrik Stenberg, a lawyer and support in her entrepreneurial journey, she continues to build on her passion for creative craftsmanship and timeless design. The summer house in St Anna Archipelago on the east coast and Halmstad on the west coast have not only become an unexpected base, but a place where she draws strength and inspiration – a contrast to the global journey and perspective that has shaped her.

For Mix, it is in the seemingly quiet that ideas take shape.
