In 2010, Nicky introduced her own line of jewelry. These pieces were inspired by the Art Deco style. In 2015, she worked with Linea Pelle to create a special collection of handbags. She wanted these bags to be classic and not just follow trends.

Later, in August 2017, Nicky announced a partnership with Tolani. They created a "Mommy and Me" collection, which included matching outfits for mothers and children. This collection came out in stores in spring 2018. She launched a second collection with Tolani in 2019, inspired by her travels. In February 2019, Nicky also started her first shoe collection with French Sole. This line, called Nicky Hilton x French Sole, officially launched in September 2019.

On June 24, 2025, Nicky Hilton launched a new jewelry brand called Theo Grace. She named the brand after her daughters, Theodora and Lily-Grace. The collection includes charm bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings. Customers can customize these pieces with names, dates, messages, or photos. Theo Grace is Nicky's first fine jewelry line.
