Claire Antill

Owner of Vu Jewellers
Claire is the creative director and head jeweller behind Vu Jewellers. Having graduated from Edinburgh with an honours degree in Jewellery and Silversmithing in 2003 she went on to create her own jewellery brand back in the UK displaying collections within galleries all over Europe and America. Settling in Queenstown 15 years ago was a bold move for an established jeweller but one that's lead to greater freedom in design and creativity for all our lovely NZ clients. Claire created Vu Jewellers in 2018 to spearhead creativity and bespoke jewellery craftsmanship in a relaxed environment set in the most beautiful town in the world, Queenstown!

With a background in Industrial Design (B.A.), she brings a thoughtful, design-led approach to her work as a self-taught jeweller under Claire's mentorship. Since 2020, she has been honing her craft. Hannah’s dedication to continual improvement is matched by her warm, welcoming nature ensuring every client feels at ease from the moment they step into the studio.
