Mawi Designer Jewelry

Like precious heirlooms, Mawi's unique jewelry has an eclectic vintage feel. Launched in 2003 by London-based designer Mawi Keivom (Margaret Thangmawi Keivom), the line is known for her coveted necklaces and bracelets with clustered charms. Born in Manipur, Northeast India, her name Thangmawi means great fame in the Tibeto-Burman culture from which she originates.

Having honed her design skills at Isaac Mizrahi in New York, Bill Amberg and Vita Couture in London, Mawi's individual style won her the New Generation Award for three consecutive seasons.

The response to her Autumn/Winter 2003 London Fashion Week debut immediately earned her over 100 stockists worldwide. Mawi's collections are now sold in the finest boutiques and department stores all over the world.

Her much copied designs combine tusks, pearls, and clusters of vintage charms on bracelets and pendants that have become fashion classics. The line encapsulates Mawi's never-ending affection for history and the exploration of far-flung cultures.

Victorian, military, royal, and punk influences symbolize a strong sense of British heritage alongside tribal and global themes that all combine to create a unique, eclectic feel - like opening your grandmothers' box of keepsakes and creating a jumble of accessories imbued with family history.

Lockets, bits of lace, pearls, cameos, junk shop charms, and global findings combine in a new way - creating a look that is vintage-inspired, yet decisively modern. Each item in the versatile collection makes a strong modern statement with a tongue-in-cheek playfulness and cutting edge chic.See full article.
