Meet The Designers Behind Margot Robbie’s Favourite Gold Hoops

Jan 28, 2020 | 9 min read

Jewellery brand Otiumberg offers demi-fine jewellery perfect for curating your own layered look - whether you’re dressing your décolletage or piecing together the ultimate ear party. If it’s a style signature you’re after, it’s time to bling it on.

There is no doubt the way we wear jewellery has changed dramatically in the past decade or so, with gold, diamonds, and other precious jewels being given the every-day treatment. One brand championing that ethos is Otiumberg. Honing in on the trend for multiple piercings, and personalising a look by stacking and layering, their demi-precious jewels have become everyday essentials for the fashion pack, as well as A-listers like Margot Robbie. 

We caught up with 34-year-old Co Founder – and former Dubai resident – Christie Wollenberg to talk about the evolution of her demi-fine jewellery brand, co-conspiring with her business partner sister, and the pieces guaranteed to resonate with women in the Middle East.
