The Pioneer of NightRider Jewelry masterfully fused his passion for high-end jewelry and his open road lifestyle and bore NightRider Jewelry. With over 30 years of expertise in the jewelry business George decided to become the ambassador of a world that is defined by the truth behind the rebel yell.

Nick Ballantyne, the Inventor   

Head Designer. Nick creates art through design. His symbolic designs of wearable art conjure up images of rock and roll legends, Sunset strip, nightclubs, tattoos and motorcycles. NightRider Jewelry is dedicated to the world that exists on the seams of mainstream America, a world that believes in the individual and will never conform to the masses.  Nick welds his fine art background, rock and roll attitude and his ambition together to capture what is truly real in this world into each piece he creates for NightRider Jewelry.

Thad Ballantyne, The Maker

Product Engineer.  Thad is a straight to the point kind of guy.  He is the shadow that stealthily moves, observing and directing the creation process, morphing into form only when things get out of hand.  As the Maker, Thad brings concepts to life, delivering the highest quality jewelry around.
