The Ultimate Guide To The Most Coveted Jewellery Brands

Some expected, some new, all exquisite

January 9, 2020

From storied maisons to artists who create wearable art in the form of jewellery, the following 21 brands (in no particular order) each offer a singular point of view and aesthetic unique to its own. From the fantastical vignettes imagined by the sculptor Bibi van der Velden to designs once created only for the maharajas, this list guides you through the varied and remarkable pieces of the jewellery world, as well as the perfected versions of those classic and timeless pieces you’ve been searching for.

The Ultimate Guide To The Most Coveted Jewellery Brands
Irene Neuwirth
image

Irene Neuwirth’s whimsical and free-spirited designs capture a beautiful balance between luxury and playfulness. Combining a diamond tennis necklace with precious stone charms carved like fruit, Neuwirth reminds us that jewelry is fun while maintaining a high standard of craftsmanship and quality. Some of my favorites are her opal candy beaded necklace and her gumball rings.

Bibi van der Velden
image

Animals and nature are common themes throughout Bibi van der Velden’s intricate designs. Trained in sculpting, van der Velden hand-carves each piece with unusual materials like the tusk from a 60,000-year-old mammoth or wings from a scarab, and is adept at engineering movement as in her Galaxy Spinning Pearl Ring.

Repossi

Using geometric form and severe angles to design the base of each piece while adding elements of extreme femininity either through the cut of the diamond or curve of the negative space, Gaia Repossi creates jewelry for the strong, modern woman unfettered with traditional notions of jewelry. Each piece resembles a work of art through its innovative aesthetic and refined quality.

David Webb

David Webb’s world of baubles is not for those with a tame heart. Original, and often dramatic, designs of animals and grand cocktail rings are Webb’s signature.

Sanjay Kasliwal

The Kasliwal family dates back to the 16th century as the legendary jewelers to the maharajas. Combining Indian aesthetic and craftsmanship with his learnings from goldsmiths in Italy, Sanjay Kasliwal designs to bring his family’s heritage to all corners of the world.

Cartier

The storied French maison remains one of the most sought-after labels when it comes to jewelry and watches. Popular for its Panthére, Love bracelets, and more, Cartier—named the Jeweler of Kings—dates back to the 19th century as the favorite among royalty.

Sidney Garber

Sidney Garber pieces are the essence of timeless luxury. If you are in search of the perfect chain-link necklace (which can be worn multiple ways, the Y shape being my favorite), search no more. Because time and time again, this one takes the win. Now helmed by Garber’s daughter, Brooke Garber Neidich, the company donates all profits to nonprofit organizations dedicated to children.

Fred Leighton

Fred Leighton is renowned for vintage and estate jewelry, which is remarkable and expertly curated. However, the brand also creates new pieces like these white topaz drop earrings that hang exactly at the right length from your lobes. It’s the small details that make these pieces so perfect.

Dauphin
image

Dauphin’s collection is composed of sharply engineered geometric designs and an architectural quality in each piece. Deconstructing the notion and form of what is expected in a ring or necklace, the French jewelry brand creates showstopping pieces for the contemporary jewelry buyer.

Spinelli Kilcollin
image

When Spinelli Kilcollin introduced its interconnected galaxy rings, it caused a frenzy among fashion editors and stylists. From its signature black gold and use of mixing metals, the brand commercialized the idea of wearing rings across multiple fingers and brought attention back to our digits.

Foundrae
image

For those seeking more of a spiritual connection with their jewelry, Foundrae offers an immense variety of mystical symbols designed on medallions and crests to layer on chain necklaces. The combinations are endless.

Shihara

Shihara’s unconventional designs are wearable every day. The brand’s minimal approach to three-dimensional shapes and exactly how they sit on the ears may be why it feels so timeless. Although known for its unique earrings, Shihara also offers sleek and understated rings and necklaces.

Daniela Villegas

Daniela Villegas creates fantastical pieces rooted in Mother Nature and the cycle of life. Often featuring species not necessarily considered beautiful, such as the centipede, Villegas seeks the unusual, which results in gorgeous creations.

Bulgari

A Roman jeweler known for its iconic Serpenti design and combination of yellow gold with colorful precious stones, the house of Bulgari dates back to 1884 having adorned many notable stars from Elizabeth Taylor to Ingrid Bergman.

Tiffany & Co

A classic for a reason—that little blue box will always elicit excitement.

Lynn Ban

A favorite of Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga, Lynn Ban’s creations are bold, fun, and major in every way. Using vibrant tones against black rhodium, all of Ban’s pieces imbue a rock ‘n’ roll energy.

Mikimoto

Mikimoto is the ultimate purveyor of the highest-quality pearls. Credited as the first person to culture a pearl, Mikimoto Kōkichi pioneered the commercialization of the pearl jewelry industry.

David Yurman

Known for cable bracelets, David Yurman offers many other bracelet options to mix, stack, and collect over the years, as well as a full-range of other categories like the perfect signet ring.
