Jewelry

Moritz Glik

Moritz Glik founded his eponymous jewelry line in New York in 2003, after leaving a shoe company he ran in his native Belo Horizonte, Brazil and teaching himself jewelry-making once he arrived in the city in 1991. His signature invention, the Kaleidoscope Shaker, encases loose, uncut gemstones inside capsules of white sapphire crystal and gold so the stones move freely

Yvonne Leon

Yvonne Leon grew up around a family of jewelers in Paris, spending childhood afternoons at her parents' vintage jewelry shop before studying at the fashion school Esmod and working as a stylist and editorial assistant, including time at Vogue Paris. She launched her own fine jewelry line in the early 2010s, building it around the dessous d'oreille, an ear jacket earring she reworked from a piece her father originally designed for her mother, and expanded it into a bestiary of animal charms sourced from her own flea market habit. A brand of my wishlist dreams

Eden Presley

Gwen Myers started making jewelry in New York as a way to fill the hours at home with three young children, and named the label after two of them, Eden and Presley. What began as pieces for herself and friends grew into informal jewelry parties before it turned into an actual wholesale business, hand-set gemstones in 14k gold with a bold, maximalist streak.

Marie Lichtenberg

Marie Lichtenberg launched her jewelry line in 2019 after twelve years as a fashion editor at French Elle. Her first lockets drew on a chain her mother gave her at fourteen, and forty pieces sold through Instagram in forty-eight hours. The collection still treats sentiment, craft and a little irreverence as design material.

Paola Sighinolfi

Paola Sighinolfi makes jewelry that treats color and volume as part of the silhouette, not an afterthought. The Colombian-born, Barcelona-based designer studied gemology and jewelry design, worked with maisons including Piaget, and launched her own brand in 2014. Malachite, carnelian, resin, and sculptural metal give the pieces a distinctly personal charge.

TOHUM

Jewelry that feels found rather than manufactured, even when the finish is polished. Verda Alaton founded the Istanbul label after years of studying anthropology, collecting tribal art and traveling through Asia and Africa, turning shells, stones and metal into expressive talismans. The pieces are bold in shape but still close to the body, which is where their natural materials make the most sense.

Marlo Laz

Jesse Marlo Lazowski grew up in Hartford, Connecticut, learning antique jewelry from her great-aunt before a trip to Jaipur, India in 2012 sent her to work directly with local artisans, and she launched Marlo Laz in New York in 2014 with a coin-inspired design called the Talisman. After studying at the Gemological Institute of America and apprenticing with a manufacturer in Manhattan's Diamond District, she built a line around symbols collected on her travels, hearts, eyes, elephants, horseshoes, that read as universal rather than tied to one culture.

Sydney Evan

Rosanne Karmes founded Sydney Evan in Los Angeles in 2001, naming it after her two children, Sydney and Evan, and her late father, Sy, after years working in fine jewelry manufacturing and running her own accessories showroom. She launched with a single pavé-diamond horseshoe necklace and diamond-set charm bracelets, a hard sell to retailers at first until Serena Williams wore a Sydney Evan moon pendant in InStyle and Neiman Marcus picked up the line in 2006.

Real Fine Studio

Eliza O'Connor, a Brisbane-born stylist, started what became Real Fine Studio in Los Angeles in 2021, making custom jewelry for styling clients who were tired of standard industry markups. It grew from Instagram-DM commissions into an heirloom-styled fine jewelry label, with early pieces picked up by working stylists and worn by a run of recognizable names within its first year.

Emily P. Wheeler

Emily P. Wheeler started making beaded jewelry for her mother as a child on Southwest road trips with her architectural-photographer father, and introduced her fine jewelry line in 2017. She trained at the GIA as a colored-gemstone specialist, and it shows in a palette built around saturated stones rather than pure diamond sparkle

VRAI

Vanessa Stofenmacher and Chelsea Nicholson founded the label in Los Angeles in 2014 as Vrai & Oro, selling made-to-order recycled-gold jewelry before the diamond producer Diamond Foundry acquired the business and shortened the name to VRAI in 2019. Every stone the house sets now comes from its own zero-emission foundry in Wenatchee, Washington, which produced what the company describes as the world's first carbon-neutral certified lab-grown diamond in 2017.

Lié Studio

Lié Studio was founded in Copenhagen in November 2021 by twin sisters Amalie and Cecilie Moosgaard, former runway models who had walked for Gucci, Valentino and Prada before building their own label with business partners at Brand Institute. The specific thing that makes the brand what it is: a small set of core minimalist gold and silver jewelry pieces, designed by two people who by their own account were not natural jewelry buyers before they started making it themselves.

Heaven Mayhem

Pia Mance started Heaven Mayhem in Los Angeles in 2022 with a small amount of starting capital, hand-tying cord necklaces from vintage pendants she sourced herself and packing every order alone. A chance run-in with Hailey Bieber at an LA coffee shop in 2023 turned the brand's earrings into a recurring celebrity fixture and pushed it into wider retail.

Fiametta

Merill Hollander founded Fiametta in New York in 2023 after a career that started at Bloomingdale's buying desk and ran through a Wharton MBA. The label works exclusively in lab-grown diamonds and frames itself as a rewrite of fine jewelry's rulebook, drawing openly on Hollander's experience as a queer woman deciding which traditions to keep and which to drop.

Lizzie Fortunato

Twin sisters Lizzie and Kathryn Fortunato started making jewelry as a Duke University side hustle in the early 2000s, then founded Lizzie Fortunato in 2008 from a Lower East Side apartment on the strength of a ten-thousand-dollar bonus check Kathryn handed her sister with instructions to follow her dreams.

KAMYEN

Kamyen comes from three generations of diamantaires, with creative director Kumud Hirawat rooted in a family of gemstone merchants from Jaipur. The family business now works from Mumbai and draws on that stones-first knowledge for high jewelry and prêt-à-porter pieces. In this selection, enamel, colored gems and diamonds keep the mood bright rather than purely formal.

Buccellati

Buccellati’s story begins with Mario Buccellati, who opened his first enterprise in Milan in 1919 after apprenticing with local goldsmiths. His work interpreted Italian techniques through finely textured gold and an unusually sculptural sense of nature. Rings, cuffs, necklaces and earrings in this selection carry that workshop language forward.

AGMES

AGMES makes New York jewelry with the clarity of small sculpture, using clean lines, recycled metals and forms that feel closer to architecture than ornament. Sisters Morgan and Jaclyn Solomon founded the label in 2016, drawing on modernist art, urban settings and the idea of the modern heirloom. The pieces are distinctive without asking for a maximalist outfit around them.

By Pariah

By Pariah was founded in London in 2016 by Sophie Karg, after a career in luxury fashion communications and a longstanding interest in materials. Karg named the brand after a National Geographic story about remote parts of the Caribbean and began with raw stones, recycled metals and sculptural forms. The jewelry feels considered but not over-polished, as if the material is allowed to keep its weather.

Anita Ko

Anita Ko brings a distinctly Los Angeles ease to fine jewelry, pairing diamonds and 18-karat gold with hoops, bamboo motifs and clean shapes designed for daily wear. Ko launched her namesake label in 2006 after making jewelry from a young age, building a contemporary alternative to the more formal codes she saw around her. The result is polished, personal and meant to leave the house.

Alexis Bittar

Alexis Bittar started selling vintage jewellery on St Mark's Place in Manhattan at about thirteen, and by 1990 was hand-carving Lucite in his one-bedroom apartment with no design training at all. Bergdorf Goodman's fashion director Dawn Mello discovered him in 1992, which is the placement that made the career.

The Fall Accessory Reset

Accessories stopped being the afterthought somewhere around the time clothes got quieter. When the outfit is a coat and a trouser, the bag and the earring carry the entire argument. This edit sorts the season's crop by what each piece is actually doing.

EF Collection

Emily Faith Strauss started EF Collection in Los Angeles in 2010, initially curating other designers' jewelry for trunk shows before she began designing her own pieces by 2013. The line took its name from her own initials and built a following on 14 karat gold and diamonds in stacking, huggie and charm formats that read as fine jewelry without the stiffness.
