With Victorian Vanity, he wanted to bring that level of craftsmanship found in vintage jewellery into the present. “Jewellery should outlive trends, become part of your story, and one day, someone else’s. That’s what makes it timeless,” he shares.
So how did he reinterpret Victorian-inspired jewellery for the modern woman? “Luxury today isn’t about owning jewellery that you wear twice a year. It’s about owning pieces that become part of your everyday life. We kept the soul of Victorian craftsmanship—the detailing, proportions, and artistry—but rebuilt it for today’s woman using 925 sterling silver with a luxurious 24kt gold polish. It carries the richness of heritage without carrying the weight of tradition,” explains Manan. He adds, “If a piece can’t move effortlessly from a festive evening to a dinner, it hasn’t been designed for today’s lifestyle.”
