Fine jewellery shaped by contrast and form, handcrafted in the UK using recycled precious metals and traceable diamonds. Created with a blend of avant-garde and classic elements, Avila Vara jewellery is custom-made, with each piece developed through a considered design process and realised by master craftspeople.
design in motion
"My designs range from ultra-feminine and unapologetically ornate to austere and futuristic, moving between pop sensibility and pragmatism, hyper-romanticism and restraint. The Dualiti collection, for example, draws on the dimensional aspects of identity — masculinity and femininity explored through softness and weight, fluidity and permanence."~Avila
Drawing on art history, theatre, architecture, movement, and emotion, each collection emerges from its own set of ideas and inspirations. Some are shaped by intimacy and devotion, others by structure, expansivity, or the luminous intensity of love and light. Together, they form a body of work that is cohesive in spirit, yet deliberately varied in expression.
Each collection is its own world.
Meticulously handcrafted
Every Avila Vara piece is made to order in the UK. This allows each design to be realised with complete focus, from the selection of diamonds to the final polish. Stones are chosen individually, metals are worked with precision, and every stage of creation is closely overseen. This made-to-order approach allows for full traceability, considered sourcing, and a level of finish that emerges from focus rather than volume.
We work with a single trusted diamond supplier and one specialist workshop, where master craftspeople bring each design to life using recycled precious metals certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council. Our lab diamonds are selected for their provenance and quality, ensuring full traceability from source to setting.
This is not about scale. It is about exactness, accountability, and doing things properly.
Goodness in Beauty®
Our ethos, Goodness in Beauty®, is inspired by the philosopher Diotima of Mantinea, whose ideas appear in Plato’s Symposium. Diotima describes true beauty not as surface or ornament, but as goodness itself, beauty that does good.
This idea anchors everything we do. It shapes how we think about design, materials, and luxury, not as excess, but as meaning, responsibility, and value defined through values.
We invite you to consider beauty this way.
