gallery piece...

Hand picked semi precious stones, intricate, unusual beads and freshwater pearls of all shapes and sizes lay alongside sterling silver, leather and interesting hand cast and polished pendants – all the ingredients of a Leoni & Vonk piece of jewellery.

Maria Leoni and Nicky Vonk, both accomplished silversmiths realised that together they could fulfill their dream of producing modern and timeless pieces of jewellery for women of all ages. In 2007 Leoni & Vonk was officially launched at Rosemount Australian Fashion week with their funky but classic Uberchic range.

The label has since gone from strength to strength. Along with continuing to collaborate with fashion designers the duo also produces limited edition collection for exhibitions and events. “Our work sits particularly well in Galleries”, says Nicky. “It appeals to women who are seeking exclusivity, women who don’t want to follow the pack."

Versatility is also a key feature of many Leoni & Vonk designs. “We try to design pieces that can be worn in many different ways” says Maria “We want our customers to make each piece of jewellery their own”.

See the collection at Magnolia Square in Sydney July 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
