If you want to stand out from the crowd, investing in a piece of luxury jewelry is the way to go. These pieces will make you look and feel your best, and they’ll last a long time.
Luxury jewelry brands have a reputation for using exceptional materials and fine artisan skills. This is what sets them apart from cheaper counterfeits. Obviously, several others can be mentioned, like Callimode. But, we will stick to the following for now.
Stone And Strand
Founded by Wharton grad Nadine Kahane, Stone And Strand aims to blend wallet-friendly prices with top-notch quality. The brand’s sleek & minimalist jewelry includes diamond studs, gold necklaces & more modern heirlooms that you can wear with almost anything.
It’s the kind of collection that’s intentionally curated and fun, and it’s built on edgy principles by women for women. The line uses the same Fifth Avenue sources for diamonds and gold as the high-end brands do, but it drops a 10x markup that allows it to sell a range of fine pieces at a fraction of their price tag.
They also do away with the destructive mining and unsafe practices associated with traditional diamonds by only sourcing lab-grown diamonds that meet strict quality standards (along with responsibly sourced precious metals). You’ll find engagement and wedding styles, as well as everyday studs, drop pendants, slim bracelets for less than $500.
Jemma Wynne
Self-taught artists Stephanie Wynne Lalin and Jenny Klatt founded Jemma Wynne in 2008, combining their love of art and design with a desire to create fine jewelry that’s luxurious yet wearable. The result is a sophisticated and chic line of contemporary, feminine pieces that represent the pinnacle of luxury.
Jemma Wynne’s newest additions are inspired by the brand’s shared love of vintage jewelry. Bold, circular gold pendants adorned with a single large gemstone are complemented by one-of-a-kind cocktail rings and wavy bangles encrusted in gems.
While this cuff bracelet might not be a new innovation, it is the first from Jemma Wynne to feature a star-set diamond engraved on its gilded clasp. It also aptly demonstrates the company’s penchant for making the most of their unique sourcing and production capabilities. The best part? This limited-edition piece is currently sold only at Net-a-porter and is engraved with the company’s special anniversary edition “Anniversary Edition” label. The company has been in business for over a decade and owes its success to their innovative designs and impeccable quality.
Boucheron
Boucheron is a luxury jewelry line that is known for its high-end design and quality craftsmanship. It offers rings, necklaces, and bracelets that are made from premium materials, including gleaming gold, brilliant malachite, and diamond-paved designs.
The company is part of Kering and operates 34 shops worldwide, most of them located in Paris, France. It has a long history of creating pieces for royalty and celebrities, as well as modern designs that are popular with women.
Since its founding in 1858, Boucheron has been dedicated to creativity and innovation. It is an ambassador of French craftsmanship and a visionary maison that takes a fresh approach to its business.
Its collections are inspired by nature, animals and the earth. The Serpent Boheme Collection is a popular choice, with pear-shaped motifs and coiled accents that are adorned with diamonds and other precious stones like turquoise, lapis lazuli, and malachite.
