Spanish-born jewelry designer Monica Vinader has always been a lifelong collector of curiosities from around the world. This culture-hungry traveler’s spirit—from Mexico to South America and now to her home and studio in Norfolk, England—comes out in her unique line of baubles featuring hand-cut semi-precious stones set in hallmarked silver or 18K gold vermeil. Vinader began her business in 2002, and was named the U.K. Jewellery Brand of the Year in 2009.
