I originally went to the Monica Vinader concession inside Liberty (my heaven), but they referred me…read moreto the Molton Street store since Liberty didn't have my size in the rings I wanted.
Due to work, I very rarely wear a lot of jewelry. At minimum, I'll wear diamond studs or pearl earrings, a simple necklace and a wristwatch. Also because I tend to have sensitive skin, I can't wear a lot of trendy or costume jewelry, so I have to stick to precious metals. Therefore, I gravitate towards classics pieces with unique characteristics.
Monica Vinader's pieces are globally inspired, and her siren stacked rings speak to me. I have some of the world's daintiest hands (my piano teachers reminded me of that at every lesson), and her jewelry are so effortlessly classic, beautiful, delicate and unique. I came in originally looking to buy a couple of rings. However, after trying a few combinations with the help of the boutique manager, I ended up leaving with three... Oops.
The boutique is impeccable, and they have most of the standard sizes in stock. Custom sizes take 6-8 weeks to order and there is a £10 fee. I contemplated getting a half size up, but decided getting one size up for my middle finger was actually perfect, and the other two rings for my ring finger a size smaller. Service was friendly and most helpful - like the trivial question of which looks better on olive skin: yellow or rose gold? The boutique manager actually suggested mixing the yellow and rose gold on my skin, which actually work.
Delighted with my purchases, and I definitely won't hesitate to return for future indulgences.
