The fact that Kiki McDonough has achieved this in countless collections over forty years is nothing short of a triumph\" - Carol Woolton, jewellery historian and British Vogue Jewellery Editor \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn the eve of her jewellery business's 40th anniversary, Kiki McDonough opens the vault to share the remarkable journey behind one of Britain's most beloved jewellery designers.

From the delicate shimmer of amethysts to the radiant sparkle of citrines and peridots, Kiki's signature pieces have graced the ears and necks of style icons across generations - including HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales, the late Queen Elizabeth II, and Princess Diana. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough rich imagery and candid storytelling, Kiki reflects on four decades of creativity, determination, and evolution.
