About
BIO
As well as helping people to feel and look fabulous, helping them celebrate important milestones through the gift of a bespoke piece of my jewellery, has been a hugely rewarding part of this job.
Jewellery designing and manufacture is my passion. Seeing my clients delighted with my designs and returning for more is the best feeling.
So where did the jewellery addiction start?
Well, it was my mum’s wooden jewellery box my talented Grandad had made for her. The red velvet lined tray containing a little Silver birdcage charm necklace held my fascination as a typical little girl who liked miniatures and sparkly things. The birdcage, perfectly detailed with the tiniest Silver bird and food bowl suspended inside, I coveted it from as far back as I can remember.
INSPIRATIONS AND PROCESSES
My luxury packaging is completely recyclable bar the box inserts, but I'm working on that!
BRAND VALUES
FAMILY
The feeling of home and the connection people have to one another sits at the core of the MION brand. You give gifts to people you love, and you buy MION pieces for people you REALLY love (and yourself of course).
Jewellery often has powerful meanings and symbolism that goes beyond any other kind of gift and I am privileged to be involved in the process of designing and creating your treasures.
CREATIVITY
A valuable commodity, completely necessary in order for me to reflect and express what we both find beautiful or need to communicate in the world. Design is the best material of choice.
LOVE
All of my work is made with love, whether it be from the collection or bespoke. Love of the materials, the design process, the creating process, meeting new people and hearing their stories. I love making clients happy.
KINDNESS
To always be kind, to offer solutions to problems and to never take things for granted. I am grateful for every like-minded, kind connection and friendship gained over the years, and am lucky to be considered a friend to many clients along the way.
ECO-CONSCIOUSNESS
As we all begin to take more responsibility for our beautiful planet, that includes MION.
- All packaging is kept simple, light, elegant and recyclable wherever possible.
- All pieces are made from solid precious metals, with recycled Eco-silver and Gold being used wherever possible, there are no plastics, enamels or resins used in MION's designs so everything can be recycled again and will never need to become landfill.
INTEGRITY
All gemstones and Diamonds used are of an excellent standard, they are certified, responsibly and ethically sourced from a reputable stone dealer.
MION has committed to donating 5% from every sale from the BIOTECTURE collection to a well known organisation that is actively doing good for the Earth, and will change each year to ensure a balanced contribution and will help you feel even better about your purchases too!
ORGANISATION/CHARITY SUPPORT CHOICE
The destruction of worldwide rainforests for Palm Oil is having a devastating effect. WWF are working hard to get key UK brands to take responsibility for sourcing and using 100% certified, sustainable palm oil in their products.
Since 2019, WWF remains one of MION's chosen organisations to support.. If you'd like to know more about the Palm Oil issue, follow these links below:
