Stuart Nye, the originator of the jewelry that bears his name, began his business on a whim. Returning from World War I, Nye was recuperating at the Veterans Hospital near Asheville. Casting about for an occupation, he began tinkering with jewelry making, and in 1933, became a full time jewelry maker. Most of his designs come from nature and include dogwoods, lilies, pansies, and pine cones.

The business continues this day under the direction of Ralph Morris, Jr.
