Celebrating Our 40th Anniversary
Last week, we marked four decades of business with a series of events at the iconic Saatchi Gallery, a stone's throw away from our flagship store in Sloane Square.
Guests were invited to discover a specially curated retrospective exhibition showcasing iconic pieces from the last 40 years, as well as an exclusive preview of our new anniversary collection. Charting a journey of design, colour and gemstones, featured pieces included the first ever earrings Kiki designed (rock crystal hearts with a gold bow on top which are in the permanent jewellery collection at the V&A), the infamous double oval earrings and hero pieces from Kiki’s most popular archival collections.
The sparkling atmosphere was set with a harpist and a string quartet alongside a spectacular performance from singer Laura Wright. Guests and friends of the brand were dazzling in their personal Kiki pieces, with some guests wearing pieces from the brand’s first few collections, almost forty years ago, that have accompanied them through the years. Gemstones of all colours and sizes were spotted throughout the room, with many guests sharing stories of the Kiki pieces that mean the most to them.
“Every Kiki piece I own has a story behind it. It captures where I was in my life, and I carry them through, collecting more jewellery and memories as I go.”
A nostalgic look back at past designs and memorable moments, this event chronicled Kiki McDonough’s journey from a small concession in a Bond Street jewellery shop to the international brand it is today. A celebration of determination, innovation, and the jewellery that marks milestones, we couldn’t have asked for a more fitting way to commemorate forty years.
A special thank you from Kiki and her team. We loved having all of you to celebrate this incredible milestone with us, and we can't wait to share our next chapter with you.
