By and large, jewellery serves as signifiers —through which you can tell a story about its wearer. For many years, people have adorned themselves with expensive jewellery and offered them as gifts to royalties because of their value for both the giver and the receiver.
Fashion accessorizing and playing dress-up was a lovely part of my childhood, even though I couldn't afford it at the time.
Fast forward to the early to mid-nineties when I could buy myself things. High street, fast fashion, and trendy clothes were the IT things girls of my age wore. Jewellery and accessories were a huge part of the composition, from waist belts with big buckles to berets and whatever trend was swooshed past.
Growing up, jewellery as a form of self-expression was a language I learned from my mother.

They say that "You can't cry on a diamond's shoulder, and diamonds won't keep you warm at night, but they're sure fun when the sun shines." And this was true about my Mom's jewellery as I wake up every day to reflections of gold-plated lines on my face, using the sun as its brush.

She especially indulged in expensive jewellery, gold from jewellers from different parts of the world. Sometimes she wore jewellery more expensive than her entire outfit. I admired her for this and thought that I'd buy myself expensive jewellery when I grew up.

In saying that, I thought wearing expensive things was an age thing. Maybe you have to be of a certain age, have a glamorous occasion, or perhaps be a celebrity to wear expensive jewellery.
However, this ideology started to change as I grew older, and my appreciation for more wondrous things started to develop, and so did my taste. But everyone has a budget, and mine didn't stretch very far. Yet high-quality jewellery was still inaccessible, from pricing to designs and styles offered.
Because of this, I stuck to the high street jewellers, which offered trendy designs that weren't sustainable and were of low quality; they often fell apart with awful fading, tarnish, and corrode - You would be lucky not to have allergic reactions.
I realised there was and still is a gap to be filled between high-quality jewellery with trendy, fantastic, 'everyday' pieces and elitist pricy high-end brands; that's where we come in.
Born to bridge the gap between ‘fashion’ and ‘fine’ jewellery, Monica. B is where both worlds meet. Our aim is to provide fashionable, beautiful, high-quality yet affordable jewellery.
I believe that luxury is a state of mind, and jewellery should not only be for a particular class of people or special occasions only.
Wearing good quality or expensive jewellery comes from self-appreciation, knowing that you deserve more and are worth much more. It's nothing to do with age, and there is something for everyone for different occasions.
Monica. B offers high quality at affordable prices. Ranging from classic staples like the Figaro Necklace to occasional pieces like the Vrouw Set or perhaps more unique pieces like the Peony Necklace. You will also find high street equivalent pieces like the Artemisia Earrings, but with better quality, which means they are much more durable and sustainable; you can wear them every day for an extended period if you take care of them appropriately.
These pieces were crafted to inspire self-love within the true essence of their wearer.
By engraving each piece of jewellery with sparkling elements, and personalized symbols with charming and shimmering look, each piece of jewellery carries a heartfelt message to the modern woman donning the jewellery - her essence - her story.
I hope you get the chance to express your authentic story through these pieces of jewellery. Monica B offers you the chance to be transported to a wonderland of self-love.
"Jewelry is a very personal thing... it should tell a story about the person who's wearing it." What's your story?
Lots of love from Monica. B x

We come in all shapes, sizes, ages and countries each of us perfectly unique. We light up every room our heels walk us into. We are driven by our ambition, yet are still able to be present at home. We see the best in the people around and have the ability to help them reach their potential.
Women are truly amazing and I’m not just saying that because I am a woman. I’m saying it for the strong women who withstood the pain of childbirth and still did it again. For the determined women who confidently command any audience and never take no for an answer. The passionate women who put 100% into everything they do. For the fierce women throughout history who changed societies mindsets forever; Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Maya Angelou, Anna Wintour, Frida Khalo, Margret Thatcher, Wangari Maathai, Coco Chanel, Mother Teresa and Mary W Jackson. We are the most underestimated but our greatest ability is to prove the world wrong. Being a woman is being able to celebrate your strong attributes but still be able to tap into our emotions and allow them to work hand in hand.
A heroine is a woman “admired for her courage, outstanding achievements or noble qualities” and just like many of the heroines we read about in books, or see in movies we have our own capes. The kind of jewellery a woman wears has the ability to highlight her personality and celebrate her best features. Jewellery has always been a symbol of empowerment, prestige and class. Your jewellery speaks for you, it can speak boldness, confidence, desire, quirkiness, but can also bring out your softness, simplicity and a sense of refinement. The jewellery you wear compliments the woman you are on the inside, by giving you the confidence to let her surface for a while.
We often celebrate how powerful women are but we should also be celebrating their vulnerability. Women embrace it, it’s built into us. We cry when we’re hurt, but refuse to be broken, we work through the pain until we see some good, we are sure about who we love even if they’re not, we’re rough but delicate. For some of us it’s easy to show our delicate side while the rest of us need a little time to show it. These are the things that make us good friends, sisters, daughters, mothers, bosses and partners. Our motivation comes from the heart and that's worth celebrating.
