Annina Vogel is a London-based British jewellery designer recognised for her contemporary interpretations of antique and vintage jewellery. Working particularly with Victorian gold charms, chains, lockets and other historic pieces, Vogel creates individual necklaces, bracelets, rings and pendants that preserve the character of their original components.
Her interest in jewellery began in childhood. At the age of eight, Vogel purchased her first gold charm, beginning a fascination with antique jewellery that would become central to her career. She subsequently developed a distinctive approach to design, sourcing historic charms and jewellery from antique markets and fairs and combining them into contemporary, often one-of-a-kind pieces.
Vogel's jewellery is particularly associated with Victorian gold charms, including sentimental and symbolic motifs such as hearts, horseshoes, keys and stars. Her designs frequently incorporate antique chains and decorative elements, giving historic jewellery a new purpose while retaining its original craftsmanship and character.
By 2009, her work was being presented at Liberty in London, followed by further international recognition through retailers including Bergdorf Goodman in New York.
In 2013, Vogel introduced her Victorian Engravings collection at Liberty, featuring reworked Victorian gold rings and pendants engraved with quotations from writers and historical figures, including Oscar Wilde and Charlotte Brontë.
Today, Annina Vogel remains associated with the creative reuse of historic jewellery, combining Victorian craftsmanship with contemporary design and an emphasis on individual, characterful pieces.
