Describe Aquila Jewellery in 50 words.

The story of Aquila Jewellery starts with a lifelong passion for jewellery and wanderlust. During my travels a few years ago, I stumbled across a group of silversmiths and their families working together to produce jewellery for a local market. They were using a traditional Indonesian technique called Jawan which I soon grew to adore. The elders of the family seemed to be teaching the younger generation their skills as they worked away in the afternoon sun. It was perfect – lovingly made jewellery, crafted by Indonesian natives, from their humble homes. Not a factory in sight, churning out identical products en masse, nor cheap materials likely to turn fingers green. It was at that point, in a dusty village in Bali, that Aquila Jewellery was born!

Where do you get your inspiration from?

Each collection is inspired by a place that I have visited or lived in, which has led to an emotional connection. Brighton, Sydney, Kerala and Ubud to name a few. I want to celebrate and capture travel, dreams of adventure and special milestones that people can relate to.

Whether it be a token of love this Christmas, a special celebration, a marker of success or recognition of friendship, Aquila Jewellery is unique, just like your life’s journey and is a reminder of your inner boho, wherever you may be!

What can people expect from your pop up this Christmas?

Think mulled wine and crackling fires!
