Athena cuff by Margot McKinney

EDITOR'S REVIEW

• Luxury jeweller Margot McKinney is the fourth generation to run the family’s business in Brisbane, Australia
• Margot’s distinctive designs make the most of two qualities she inherited: the first is being Australian, a country with a natural abundance of minerals, and the second is the deep family links to suppliers in the industry around the world that her family has nurtured over decades 
• The triangular opal in the Athena cuff has a story to tell: “All the opals I use were mined in the last century,” explains Margot.  "They are irreplaceable.  The opal in the Athena cuff is a Boulder Opal from West Queensland offered to me by a 5th generation opal miner who knows where these amazing gems are kept.  When they are released from an old safe on the minefield, he knows to offer it to me first.”
• The ring is set with Australian Boulder Opal 16.46ct,  Kunzite 44.06ct and multi-coloured gemstones
• One-of-a-kind
• Brushed yellow gold
