For more than two decades she has created one-of-a-kind pieces for private clients, working in a bespoke tradition in which each commission begins with the client's own story before a single stone is chosen. Her work spans high jewellery and collectible objects, among them a diamond-set pen, the Dragon iPhone case covered by Robb Report and a series of gold decanters. A ring of hers has been accepted into the GIA Collection, the teaching collection of the Gemological Institute of America. She holds a UAE Ministry of Culture Golden Visa, and a street in Brazil has been named in her honour in recognition of her artistic and humanitarian work. Her most recent pieces, The Silver Road of Love and the Imperial Nocturne, extend her practice into philanthropy, with a portion of the proceeds directed to young people from low-income families. She is now developing Anita Salon, an invitation-only network for collectors of important jewellery."
