Designers Bio
Designer siblings Zoe and Morgan continue the legacy of their father Douglas Sibbald (the ‘Silver Fox’), a jewellery designer who had his first workshop in Ibiza, before moving to England and then New Zealand . ‘Moonbird’ was a place where Zoe, Ruth and Morgan watched the process of jewellery making from start to finish: sparkling materials, careful combinations, the delicate work of assembly and then the final piece, heavy and wondrous in their small hands.
Led by their mother, Anna, and their father, Douglas, they ventured from England to New Zealand, Japan and India, always in pursuit of exotic materials. To this day, the search continues.
Zoe first worked in Millinery, Morgan in music, whilst Ruth completed a business degree - but their shared history was alive and kicking. After travelling to India, Morgan returned with a pocket full of precious gemstones and showed his finds to Zoe. Intrigued by the different quality and colour combinations of these treasures, their collaboration began to take shape. In the blink of an eye, Zoe and Morgan had begun.
Launched in Summer 2006, Zoe and Morgan were an instant hit. In 2007 the first Men’s line ‘Gimme Danger’ had its début - expanding the brand’s fan base far and wide. Running to keep up with demand, sister Ruth joined the joyride. She’s now their company manager, business coordinator and all round saving grace. Spring 2008 saw the release of the ‘Fine collection’ - a response to the disposable nature of the fashion world. The Fine collection features pieces to treasure for a life time, pieces that will look even better with wear and tear, to pass down through generations – with Zoe and Morgan every jewel has a story to tell.
Their pieces have featured in Vogue, Elle, pop, InStyle. They are the jewellery brand of choice for fashion editors and word of mouth has carried their designs into style leading hands – Garance Dore, Alexa Chung, Lilly Donaldson, Emma Watson and Kate Moss to name but a few.
Their business approach is personal and they’ve received invites from all over the world from their buyers, many of whom are now dear friends. Zoe and Morgan have swiftly become a favourite and best-kept secret.
