Maggie Angus jewellery press coverage
When was the Maggie Angus store born?
Maggie Angus was born in September 2010.
What is it that made you want to go into jewellery designing?
I’ve always made jewellery and clothes, plus I’ve always wanted to run my own business. I used to work in magazine and met lots of accessories designers. I loved my job but I always wished I was them. One actually said to me ‘why don’t you run a jewellery business?’ and well, I couldn’t think of a reason why not.
Why did you specifically choose acrylic as the material to work with for Maggie Angus?
I love bright colours and I like how I can mix my illustrative style with jewellery using acrylic.
Where do you get your inspiration?
I get my inspiration from lots of things but mostly old school book illustrations, emphemera and my endless doodling.
What do you think jewellery can add to an outfit?
Personally I’m not a fan of wearing patterns so jewellery, to me, gives my outfits an instant lift.
If you could only wear one piece of jewellery for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A necklace. If it was to be a Maggie Angus piece, it would be the Charleston Dancer in silver. I think it’s quite cheeky and I dream of being a 1920’s style dancer.
