Best Designer Jewelry Brands in the World

Be the center of attention wherever you go with exquisite jewelry from top designers.

The adage that "diamonds are a girl's best friend” is true, and for that we are not sorry. Jewelry has always been an integral element of our style and identity, and that's not going to change. Others of us wish for a pair of Chanel's trademark earrings, while still others fantasise about a Tiffany diamond. We all have our hopes and wishes, after all. The key is to not just dream, but to dream large.

As in, "Tiffany and Company."

When we think about high-end jewellery, our minds immediately go to Tiffany & Co. because of the rich history that precedes the company. The company, which opened its doors in 1837 as Tiffany, Young & Ellis, eventually changed its name to Tiffany & Co. and branched out to London and Paris. Whether diamond, solitaire, or platinum, it is known for creating couture jewellery of the highest quality. Famous people like Jackie Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor are regulars.

Cartier

French fashion designer Louis Cartier established the Cartier brand in Paris in 1847. After only a few years, it had become well-known for its high-quality jewellery and had spread to other major metropolises around the globe. The iconic panther-shaped brooch by Cartier was first made with pave diamonds and the finest jewels in 1947. The Princess of Windsor, among the many people who saw this masterwork, was captivated by it. Since then, Cartier has produced yearly iterations of this item that sell out immediately. BvLgari is also well-known for selling high-quality jewelry at auction.

Greek immigrant Sotirios Voulgaris founded the Italian luxury goods company Bvlgari in the late 18th century. Bvlgari is known for its gorgeous and one-of-a-kind jewelry, which is often set with a variety of stones and diamonds. The 'Serpentine' series is the best known, and it features watches, necklaces, and bangles coiled like a snake and studded with diamonds and other precious stones.

Harry Winston.

The company was founded by Harry Winston in 1932, and he died in 1978. The company is still operating under the same name and producing diamond and gemstone couture and designer jewelry. You'll know you're looking at a piece of its jewellery because of the level of detail, sophistication, and structural complexity it displays. Harry Winston is a popular choice for A-listers to wear on the red carpet because the brand's modern jewelry designs respect the brand's storied heritage.

Fashion house of Van Cleef & Arpels

Again hailing from the Art Deco era, Van Cleef & Arpels is a French fashion house synonymous with high-end accessories. Alfred Van Cleef cofounded the company with his uncle, Salmon Arpels. Each piece of jewellery, from watches to rings to earrings to necklaces, is crafted with painstaking attention to detail and innovative approaches to gemstone cutting and setting. Van Cleef is well-known for its cutting-edge designs, such as the 'Mystery Setting,' which displays each stone to its fullest potential.

Chopard

Chopard, a Swiss firm founded in 1860 by Sonviellier, is best known for its exquisite women's timepieces. In 1960, it was sold to a German firm that kept the brand and kept producing the women's wrist and pocket watches for which it was recognised. After that, it branched out into making jewellery for women, which remains a popular product today.

King David Yurman

This American jewelry company was founded by David and Sybil Yurman in 1980 in New York, making it a relative latecomer compared to the other major brands. Of course, it stands on equal footing with the industry's other top brands. It produces jewelry for all of a woman's occasions, from the red carpet to the office. The 'Cable Motif' is the brand's defining design element; it involves wrapping a thin metal wire around a gemstone or leaving it plain and shiny. Famous people frequently wear David Yurman jewelry.

Buccellati

Even though it was founded in Italy, Buccellati is now well-known worldwide. This includes major metropolitan areas such as New York, London, Paris, and Hong Kong. Buccellati has a rich history and culture, and their jewellery, particularly their bug and animal shapes set with diamonds and other stones, is often regarded as among the finest in the world.

Boucheron

After being founded in 1860 by Frédéric Boucheron to supply the high society of Paris with jewellery, Boucheron swiftly rose to prominence as the world's preeminent manufacturer of fine jewellery. It was widely reported that Boucheron had relocated to 26 Place Vendôme in 1898. It was the most visible spot on the corner of the street, so naturally the jewels would shine brightest there. While Boucheron's headquarters remain in the same location, the company has expanded to create boutiques all over the world. Boucheron continues to be a world leader in all of its product categories, from one-of-a-kind couture to timepieces and bridal lines.

Thierry Hermès, a Parisian fashion designer, founded Hermès in 1837. The high-end brand that's famous for its wild patterns and bright hues now makes jewellery for ladies. Like the rest of its wares, it is most recognised for its bespoke and limited edition jewellery. Because leather is one of the company's specialties, it offers not only high-end gold and diamond collections, but also unique pieces that combine leather and enamel. One of its most devoted patrons was Grace Kelly.

Chanel

We're all well aware that Chanel is a prestigious French fashion house. Coco Chanel, whose given name was Gabrielle, founded her illustrious fashion house in 1909. Coco Chanel was a fashion icon for her ground-breaking designs and for believing in, speaking up about, and creating garments that harmoniously combine traditionally feminine and traditionally masculine components. Chanel is also involved in the design of high-end modern jewelry and opulently carved diamond ranges.

French fashion house Dior is responsible for the Dior Dior line of jewelry

 

The fashion house of Christian Dior is unrivalled in the fields of clothing, accessories, and fragrance. In 1950, the company branched out into jewelry production since it was a logical next step and a good fit for the brand. Dior is attuned to the needs of both the mass market and its affluent clientele, which is why it offers a wide range of jewelry, from excellent timepieces set with colorful jewels to elaborate statement pieces.

 

Name-Brand Jewelry by Graff

At the young age of 15, Laurence Graff began his career as a designer in England, where he served an apprenticeship with a prominent jeweler. After opening his first Graff Diamonds store in London in 1962, he quickly expanded the business to other locations in the city. He is well-known for both crafting stunning diamond jewelry and buying-in and resetting well-known gems. A 600 carat diamond was used in his best work, attesting to his skill and mastery of techniques.
