Margaux Studios was founded in 2019 by British designer Abigayil Swann. Margaux is an ode to romance and modern heirlooms with sustainability at the very core. After training in Fashion Design at the prestigious Kingston University London and being featured in British Vogue as one of the top fashion graduates of 2011, Abi spent the next 8 years designing for a number of well-known high street companies but dreamt of starting her own sustainable jewellery and accessories brand.
Margaux places an emphasis on creating beautiful, elegant collections with minimal waste and a very low carbon footprint. We have become well-known for our signature bows; Our handcrafted jewellery keepsakes using freshwater pearls and crystals; and our lustrous silk dupion hair barrettes, that we finish with our classic rhinestone buckle.
We only use the highest quality metals (such as our 14k gold-filled clasps and earrings) that are highly tarnish- and water-resistant. We believe that jewellery which lasts for generations should be available at an affordable price. All of our pieces are handcrafted in London, after meticulous sourcing of the finest and most beautiful materials.
Our collections are coveted and regularly called in by a growing list of high-profile stylists. We are regularly seen in fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Dazed and ELLE. Celebrity fans include Nicola Coughlan, Laufey, Greta Bellamacina, Aimee Lou Wood and Sharon Horgan.
About
Production & Materials
We manufacture solely at our London studio, which ensures we maintain a low carbon footprint. We use specialised jewellery techniques such as traditional silk-knotting, French beading and wire wrapping within our hand crafted collections, as well as stress-testing designs to ensure our pieces uphold their quality through wear and time. Our gemstones, pearls and metal parts are predominantly sourced from our trusted UK suppliers, often using recycled sterling silver, conflict-free gold, and ethically sourced stones. We are committed to ordering materials in small batches to minimise waste (any materials that do not get used are designed and worked into future collections). Therefore, the majority of the pieces in our collection are made-to-order, but we also hold a growing list of best-sellers in stock and ready to send.
