2014 is a very special year for the McKinney Family as it marks 130 years for our family business. The courage, creativity and fortitude of my great grandfather, grandfather, father and mother are so important to me and indeed are my guiding lights. It is with honour and gratitude that I carry the privilege of furthering our family tradition and it is with great pleasure that I present this collection. I have many people to thank for their part in my creative journey including ultimately the extraordinary women who wear my jewellery so wonderfully. They are my inspiration and it is their confidence and style that emboldens me. I am humbled when I see these incredible friends wearing my designs so creatively and cleverly and making them their very own. I present this collection proudly and hope that I can, through these wonderful gems and craftsmanship, share the joy that designing brings me. I thank you, my friends for joining me on this exciting journey. Margot McKinney
