About the Fiona Paxton brand

As a designer, Fiona Paxton incorporates her passion for travel, Oriental artisanal workmanship, British punk era iconography and the history of the arts into her craft of jewelry

Paxton is distinguished by her uniquely handmade creations which are characterized by geometry patterns reminiscent of the 1920s. Her jewelry is a sublime mix of almost ethnic design, modernized with contemporary details.

Her work is often praised by worldwide press such as The New York Times, The London Times, The Daily Telegraph, Stella Magazine, Grazia and Vogue.

Designer

Fiona Paxton graduated from the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London in 1992 with a major in textile design. She then worked as a consultant in New York, London and Bangkok for such houses as Armani, Chloé, Moschino and Michiko Koshino. Fiona Paxton has rapidly established herself as a force to be reckoned with behind the scenes of fashion shows everywhere.

In less than a year, Paxton managed to craft a distinctive profile for her line of accessories. The designer launched her eponymous label in 2008, in which she showcased a mix of Indian-inspired jewelry with a touch of British punk styling.

Collection

Fiona Paxton’s jewelry is immediately recognizable. Her signature piece is a long bead-embroidered necklace with the two ends linked by multiple fine chains which can be spotted on many celebrities.

The modern lines of the pieces reflect a dedication to detail, appetite for travel and taste for only the most beautiful of objects. She has also managed to cleverly combine the British punk style of leather cuffs and chains with the geometric lines and shapes which are more specific to the Bauhaus style.

These strong, elegant and ethnic pieces will set flight to your imagination. Whether worn with jeans and a T-shirt or a more sophisticated evening ensemble, Paxton jewelry injects an undeniable dose of charm into all that it adorns. This collection has definitely been designed with the contemporary woman in mind, regardless of age. Discover her work for yourself and fall in love!
