6. Deborah Pagani

Whether you need hair accessories or fine jewellery, Deborah Pagani’s got your back. The designer started her career styling hair in the late 90s but later fell into the jewellery business when her friends began to admire the pieces she made for herself.

Now, her brand combines her two passions together, selling a range of hair accessories made with metal accents that can double as cuffs and clips. Her fine jewellery line is just as sleek, featuring modern designs with responsibly sourced gems. Her more recently expanded bespoke services help clients upcycle gold and gems from heirloom jewellery to create brand new jewellery pieces that clients can fall in love with.
