Where the best jewellery brands are concerned, Monica Vinader really is as good as the fashion crowd raves on about – a badge of honour given the amount of accessories labels there are these days.
You’ll find everyone from A-listers to royalty wearing the brand (Kate Middleton, Scarlett Johansson and Selena Gomez, we’re looking at you) thanks to its ability to tackle trends and create lasting designs at the same time. The thing that’s really solidified its status in the industry, though? Its simultaneous focus in becoming more environmentally responsible.
Brought to life in 2008 by its eponym, the sustainability approach is what keeps people coming back.

Monica Vinader exclusively uses 100% recycled gold and sterling silver, as well as 100% recyclable packaging and reusable pouches.
“I think people can appreciate quality craftsmanship and timeless design,” said Monica herself when we asked what it is that makes the brand so popular. “Our bestsellers are unmistakably Monica Vinader – they’re distinctive, versatile, and made to last. I think it’s this longevity and uniqueness that draws people in. Customers can actually learn all about our ethical makers and suppliers, too, they just have to look for the ‘Trace this Item’ icon on over 100 of our product pages.”
Is Monica Vinader jewellery worth the money?
Absolutely. As popular as other jewellery box brands like Missoma, Mejuri and Astrid & Miyu, Monica Vinader pieces are not only made from recycled metals, but they also feature ethically-sourced diamonds and gemstones. And, if you needed further proof, Her Majesty the Queen Camilla visited the brand’s Norfolk headquarters to present the 2022 Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development.
As for what to buy? Everyone needs a great pair of hoops and the Siren Muse Large Hoops (seen below on the Princess of Wales) are definitely the favourites, according to Monica herself. “Another piece that’s really popular is our Kate Young Gemstone Ring in Black Onyx. It’s a favourite of Selena Gomez and we’ve had to restock it over and over,” she says.
Is Monica Vinader a luxury brand?
Yes, but it won’t necessarily break the bank. “We were one of the original brands to offer affordable luxury by pioneering the use of 18k gold vermeil,” says Monica. To make it, 18k gold is layered on top of solid sterling silver to create a finish that’s five times thicker than average gold plating. “We did this because we really wanted to encourage the idea that you can buy your own luxury jewellery, not wait to be gifted it,” she says. That said, we think a fine jewellery gift from Monica Vinader would make the perfect gift for her, gift for mum, gift for girlfriend and even gift for men or boyfriend this Christmas.
