Monica Vinader Ltd. is a British jewellery brand selling necklaces, pendants, earrings, rings and friendship bracelets. In 2002, Monica Vinader, the brands’ Creative Director, began creating her jewellery collection whilst working in South America with her husband. She focused on creating bespoke pieces for private clients but demand soon grew to a larger audience. In 2006, the company began trading as Monica Vinader Ltd and went on to win Retail Jewellers’ ‘Jewellery Brand of the Year’ award in 2009. Monica Vinader Ltd secured funding from Beringea in 2010 to open their first store on South Molton Street. A second round of funding followed in May 2013, raising £2.5M in total. Beringea invested an additional £1.5M and The Clark Group invested £1M as part of the deal. Recently Monica Vinader have launched the Esencia Collection and opened a new store at Canary Wharf.
