TOTI Equestrian

Behind the Brand

From humble beginnings riding at her local barn to competing on the world’s biggest stages, Edwina Tops-Alexander has become Australia’s most decorated female equestrian and one of the top-ranked female riders globally. With four Olympic Games to her name, Edwina’s story is one of resilience, confidence, and unwavering determination—values that lie at the core of her brand, TOTI Jewellery.

Inspired by her beloved horse, Toti, Edwina founded TOTI to create meaningful pieces that reflect the strength and spirit of both horse and rider. Just as Toti overcame challenges, each piece in the collection is designed to inspire you to do the same.

Handcrafted in 9k and 18k gold and set with sparkling diamonds, TOTI pieces are made with care, precision, and a deep connection to the equestrian world—jewellery that empowers, uplifts, and tells a story.

Craftsmanship

Design

Each piece is thoughtfully designed by Edwina herself, drawing inspiration from the grace, strength, and symbolism of the equestrian world.

TOTI is anchored by three core collections, each telling a story of purpose and inspiration:

Challenge
This line features a monogram that merges “TOTI” and “ITOT”—a tribute to Edwina’s remarkable horse and the ITOT Foundation, which supports children and adults living with disabilities. It’s a symbol of strength through adversity.

Confidence
Inspired by the imprint of Toti’s horseshoe, this collection celebrates personal growth and perseverance. Each piece is a quiet reminder to keep moving forward, one step at a time.

Connection
Drawing from the horse’s bit—the essential link between rider and horse—this line honours the bond, trust, and understanding at the heart of every great partnership.

Authenticity

Real gold jewellery offers timeless elegance and lasting value. It is highly durable, resistant to tarnishing, and naturally hypoallergenic, making it ideal for everyday wear, even for sensitive skin. It also retains value over time, making it both a personal treasure and a smart investment. All of TOTI’s 9k and 18k pieces are crafted from genuine gold. Each item is hallmarked to indicate its karat weight (e.g., 9k, 18k), which reflects the proportion of pure gold it contains. The higher the karat, the greater the gold content. Karats indicate purity, while fineness measures the weight of the pure metal within the piece.

Materials

Gold is the cornerstone of TOTI’s collection—a naturally occurring and scarce yellow metal, valued for its lustrous qualities and remarkable malleability. TOTI sources its gold primarily from China, working with one of the world’s leading and most reputable producers.
Diamonds are a naturally occurring form of carbon, renowned for their unmatched hardness and radiant brilliance. Formed deep within the Earth under extreme heat and pressure, they are one of the most durable and sought-after gemstones.
Sterling Silver is a high-quality metal alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, most commonly copper. This blend enhances the strength and durability of the silver, making it ideal for fine jewellery while maintaining its beautiful, lustrous appearance.
Silk is a beautiful natural fibre that has been produced for thousands of years. It is completely biodegradable and has a very low environmental impact.
Cotton is a natural, plant-based fibre known for its excellent qualities in clothing production—it's breathable, soft, and naturally biodegradable, making it both functional and environmentally friendly.
Recycled Polyester, traceably made from 100% ocean-bound plastic bottles, offers a more sustainable alternative to virgin polyester. It requires significantly less energy to produce and is created by melting down post-consumer plastic waste and re-spinning it into new fibres.
Leather is a raw material valued for its durability and repairability. Its long lifespan reduces waste through ongoing use, refurbishment, and repurposing. Much like fine jewellery, leather goods are often cherished and passed down through generations.

Production

A selection of TOTI’s pieces are crafted entirely in Italy, a country renowned for its rich heritage in fine jewellery and artisanal craftsmanship. Using only premium materials, each item undergoes a carefully monitored production process to ensure precision, consistency, and exceptional quality. This meticulous attention to detail not only upholds the brand’s commitment to excellence but also reflects the enduring beauty and integrity of every piece.

Environmental Sustainability

Recycled Materials

Investment

Imitation silver and gold—often made from base metals, alloys, or plastic—typically come with a higher environmental cost. Gold plating processes rely on harsh chemicals that can damage ecosystems, while many fake pieces incorporate non-biodegradable materials that may leach toxins into the environment. These alternatives also tend to wear quickly, leading to frequent replacements and increased waste. In contrast, real silver and especially solid gold are not only more sustainable and recyclable but can also retain or even grow in value over time. Fine gold jewellery, in particular, is prized not just for its timeless appeal but also for its ability to retain—and often increase—in value, making it both a beautiful accessory and a considered investment.

ITOT Foundation

Story

TOTI donates 2% of every order to the ITOT Foundation—an initiative established by Edwina Tops-Alexander to support children and adults living with disabilities. The foundation is named after her extraordinary horse, Toti, who overcame a life-changing injury to become one of the world’s top show jumpers. His story is a symbol of resilience and hope, and it’s this spirit that fuels the foundation’s mission. Through the power of equine therapy, the ITOT Foundation helps individuals build confidence, strength, and connection—proving that healing often begins in the presence of a horse.

"Horses can be healers. I was fortunate to experience Toti's magical qualities as we competed around the world for years. Now the ITOT Foundation will play its part in helping ensure the precious benefits of horse therapy, such as the incredible work at centres like St Oda, are felt and enjoyed by as many people as possible."
