NADINE FINK FROM NANA FINK
I love jewellery for two reasons. Firstly, because it makes women feel beautiful. Secondly, I enjoy the detailed craftsmanship that goes into each piece. Art Deco is the era I love most, so I try to translate the elegance and perfection of that era into my pieces.

TRACEY ELLISON FROM THE DIAMONDS GIRL
I love jewellery because I feel it empowers the wearer. It makes you feel like you can conquer the world.
Tracey Ellison, Jewellery Lover, Founder and Consultant
MADDY BARBER FROM MADLY GEMS
I love jewellery because it truly is the most personal thing that a person can own. Think about it: what will outlive you, is created by nature and refined by man, that will form part of your legacy, if not history? Every piece will tell of a milestone or a period in your life. Hopefully, your future generations will treasure them and share memories about you over each piece.
Maddy Barber, Founder of Madly Gems

I love jewellery because it makes me happy. Every piece I own celebrates a milestone in my life.

NADINE AYSOY FROM NADINE AYSOY FINE JEWELLERY
I love jewellery because I live, breathe, design, produce, dream and even eat it…Ok, I don’t eat it, but I do love it! It makes me happy. Jewellery is my life and I cannot imagine a life where I could not wear jewellery.
Nadine Aysoy, CEO and Designer at Nadine Aysoy Fine Jewellery

SIMONE NG FROM SIMONE JEWELS
I love jewellery because of its history and the stories it tells. The materials that we use to create fine jewellery pieces are all produced by mother nature, which nothing can replace. Imagine these gemstones that take millions of years to form under the earth are then brought into your life in the most mesmerising and shiny of forms.
Simone Ng, Founder & Executive Creative Director at Simone Jewels
