Annette Piper
A qualified gemmologist, Annette Piper creates elegant, classical and stylish jewellery, incorporating quality gemstones, pearls and silver. She sources stones from around the world, continually searching for the unusual.
Her designs highlight the beauty of the stones and materials used. Influenced by old world simplicity and ancient legends, her jewellery reflects the values and forms evocative of a bygone golden age, with a timeless yet often modern edge.
Preferring to make one of a kind items, she does include a small number of limited editions in her completely handcrafted range. Each piece is made with strict attention to workmanship and quality with every gemstone and pearl going through Annette’s stringent quality control process - only the best is selected for use in her designs.
Every item is made to be worn and loved. So many people report how great they feel when they wear an Annette Piper original design. Let one of her creations help you make your own personal and fashion statement.
