Naude Bourn x Valerie Kinley on the Cover of GLAMOUR Bulgaria | March 2025

1. If you had to describe the essence and energy of Naude Bourn in a few words, what would you say?

Every piece of 750 gold is crafted with intention and fire – created to awaken something within you. The essence? Bold. Refined. Transformative. The energy? Like a whisper that turns into a Roar. We don’t adorn you – we remind you who the hell you are. 

2. What inspired you to create jewelry that not only adorns, but becomes a catalyst for personal transformation?

The key to the universe? You were born with it. Naude Bourn wasn’t created to add something to you – it’s here to awaken what you already have. The brand connected to a profound truth: transformation isn’t about becoming something new, it’s about remembering who you are. Jewelry should do more than just look pretty. It should challenge you. Reflect you. Elevate you. Each piece is a mirror – not of how the world sees you, but of what has always been inside you.

3. The concept of “amplifying your unique light” is at the core of Naude Bourn. How do you ensure that each piece of jewelry carries this powerful charge?

 

We don’t design according to trends. We design for truths. Every Naude Bourn piece begins with a question: “What power already exists within you and how can we amplify it?” From the shade of gold you choose, to the intention put into it, every detail is created to reflect you. Rebel Rose. Bravura Yellow. Stealth Black. Surge White. These aren’t just colors—they’re frequencies. And when you wear them, you’re not trying to be someone else. You’re amplifying who you already are.

 

4. Wearing Naude Bourn means embarking on a journey into yourself. What was your journey in creating this brand?

 

Naude Bourn is a reflection of an inner return. Its growth came through awareness – through listening within, removing the noise and living the transformation. The creation of this brand was a process of embodiment – of giving form to clarity, structure to soul, and voice to what already existed. This is not a journey of building up– but of revealing that which was never meant to be hidden.

 

5. What role does authenticity play in the brand's story – both in the designs you create and the people you connect with?

There is a special moment when someone sees themselves—truly—in the reflection of the gold. It is for this moment that Naude Bourn was created. The design process begins with emotional clarity, which gives form to identity, meaning and presence. Each piece of jewelry is charged with this energy - conscious, harmonious and anchored in truth. To “Be Naude” means to live with unfiltered knowing and bold self-recognition. It’s not a style. It’s a state of mind. People who are drawn to the brand feel the resonance of who they already are. They don’t wear Naude Bourn. They embody it.

6. What's next for Naude Bourn? Are there any new collections or initiatives that you're particularly excited about?

Naude Bourn continues to create jewelry for those who shape the world. In May, the brand will enter the energy of the Cannes Film Festival. Shortly thereafter, the Emergence collection will be presented - each piece is a handcrafted expression of transformation and inner knowing.

Selected pieces will be reserved for Naude Bourn Members - rare, harmonious and uncompromisingly unique.

7. If you could leave one message or invitation to your clients, what would it be? 

Be Naude. Because ordinary never changed the world.
