A keen jewellery designer and dedicated charm junkie, Annina Vogel uses her great eye and lavish stock to create the perfect necklace to suit every personality, fantasy and style... Annina was born in London and moved to San Francisco when she was a baby. Her mother dealt in bakelite and costume antique jewellery and took Annina with her on buying trips. That is when her obsession with jewellery began, but she was far more interested in the real stuff... diamonds and gold!! She started collecting gold charms at the age of 8 and by the time she was 11 she had already bought and sold her first diamond ring making a handsome profit. She returned to the UK age 12 and has lived in North West London ever since. Although Annina works in television, she loves to trawl antique markets and fairs for charms . She loves finding unusual and rare pieces for current projects. You'll often find her in Portobello Market on a Saturday morning with eyes peeled for that holy grail of all Charms!! The Jewellery
Charms are the most wonderful little treasures; whether moving, opening, working or static each one is absolutly charming! During Annina's tireless quest for charms she has come across some really amazing pieces, a toaster with toast popping out, a safe opening to money, a music box that actually plays a tune and hour glass with moving sand.. |
