Monica.B — Est. 2020 · London

Crafted to be lived in.

Demi-fine jewellery designed for the woman who moves through the world with intention — and never takes it off.

Our story
Banke Gatward — Founder & Creative Director
"I wanted to create pieces you'd never want to take off. Jewellery that's as dynamic as the woman wearing it."

I founded Monica.B in 2020 from a simple, persistent frustration: the jewellery market forced women to choose. Beautiful pieces reserved for occasions. Everyday pieces that lacked substance. Nothing existed in between that felt truly considered.

Monica.B was built to close that gap. Every design sits at the intersection of craft and wearability, sculptural enough to be noticed, made with materials that hold up to real life. 18K Gold PVD on stainless steel, sterling silver or brass. Waterproof. Tarnish-resistant. Hypoallergenic. Designed in London.

The name is personal. Monica is my middle name; B, my first initial. Each piece carries something of me, and I hope it carries something of you too.

Banke Founder & Creative Director, Monica.B

Jewellery that means something.

We don't design for the occasion. We design for the everyday — and trust that the everyday is worth adorning beautifully.

01

Uncompromising Craft

Every Monica.B piece is built on 18K Gold PVD-coated stainless steel/sterling silver/brass, a material standard that delivers the longevity of fine jewellery at a price that doesn't ask you to compromise. Waterproof, sweatproof, and tarnish-resistant from the first wear to the thousandth.

02

Intentional Design

Nothing at Monica.B is decorative for its own sake. Collections are named and designed with purpose — from the floral symbolism to the cultural women celebrated in our collection. Each piece is considered minimal but a statement.

03

Designed for Real Life

Demi-fine jewellery shouldn't be treated like heirlooms. Wear Monica.B to the gym, the beach, the boardroom, and to bed. The construction is built for a life fully lived — not preserved behind glass.

04

Responsible by Default

Premium quality reduces waste by design — pieces built to last are pieces that don't need replacing. Every order arrives in a sustainable velvet pouch/box. We believe the most ethical jewellery is the jewellery you keep.

Premium materials.
Without the premium gatekeeping.

The demi-fine category exists precisely to make exceptional materials accessible. At Monica.B we hold ourselves to a single standard across every piece: if it doesn't hold up to daily life — swimming, showering, seasons — it doesn't leave the studio.

That's a promise, not a marketing line. Our PVD coating process creates a molecular bond with the stainless steel base, not a surface layer that chips or peels. The result is jewellery that earns its place in your collection — and stays there.
