The Inspiration Behind Our Designs
At Antonia Guise, our jewellery is more than just an accessory; it's a testament to the extraordinary Women who inspire us. Our founder, Antonia, draws inspiration from trailblazing Women throughout history, designing unique pieces that tell their stories and celebrate their achievements.
Researching the Muse
As a history enthusiast, Antonia immerses herself in the lives of her muses. She delves into books, articles, and podcasts, piecing together a vivid picture of each woman's personality, struggles, and triumphs. This deep understanding of her muses forms the foundation of every Antonia Guise design.
Creating the Visual Story
With a background in costume design, Antonia brings her muses to life through vivid imagery. She curates extensive Pinterest boards filled with visuals that capture the essence of each trailblazing Woman. From these images, she selects the most evocative ones to create a final moodboard that encapsulates her muse's unique spirit.
From Moodboard to Sketch
Guided by the visual narrative of her moodboards, Antonia begins sketching her designs. Each piece undergoes a meticulous process of refinement, with Antonia iterating on her drawings until she achieves the perfect balance of style, symbolism, and storytelling. The result is a collection of timeless Jewellery that pays homage to the remarkable Women who inspire us.
Every Antonia Guise piece is a labour of love, infused with passion, creativity, and a deep respect for the trailblazing Women who shape our world.
