Monica Vinader
Apart from its hammered metals and Asian motifs, the appeal of Monica Vinader’s jewelry lies in its bespoke stones. This winner of the UK Jewelry Award chooses vibrant semiprecious crystals — like beer quartz, Indian ruby and rainbow moonstone — which are then hand-cut by artisans into multifaceted sparklers. Set into striking pieces such as cocktail rings and cascading chandelier earrings, Vinader’s jewelry stands out for both its exoticism and restraint.
