Jewelry making is one of the oldest forms of art. It has withstood the test of time as an enduring symbol of beauty, creativity, and personal expression. Currently, there is a huge number of competing luxury brands in the market, each vying for the attention of customers.
In this competitive landscape, it is great to know you can still depend on established and time-tested luxury brands to produce high-quality jewelry.
These brands have carved a niche for themselves by sourcing the best quality gemstones and precious metals known to mankind, and transforming them into exquisite works of wearable art.
BVLGARI
BVLGARI is one of the oldest Italian jewelry houses, founded by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari in 1884. It is known for its distinctive fusion of Roman and Greek aesthetics, creating pieces that embody classical elegance with a modern twist. The brand is celebrated for its use of brightly-colored cabochon gemstones, ancient Roman gold coins, and serpent-inspired designs.
Perhaps one of the most iconic symbols of BVLGARI is the Serpenti collection which captures the allure of serpents, blending their sinuous forms with precious metals and vibrant gemstones. One of the most sought-after pieces from the brand is the Serpenti Tubogas bracelet watch.
Cartier
Cartier was founded in 1847 by Louis François Cartier in the midst of the French revolution. The brand has been dubbed as the “king of jewelers and jeweler of kings,” with its list of clientele that reads like a who’s who of royalty and celebrities. Some of the milestones of the brand include pioneering the use of platinum in jewelry making, and leading the transition from pocket watch to wristwatch for men in 1904 with the Cartier Santos.
The Cartier Tank, with its Art Deco-inspired design, is an iconic timepiece that epitomizes elegance and simplicity. Its rectangular case and clean lines have made it a symbol of enduring style.
Chopard
In 1860, Louis-Ulysse Chopard laid the foundation of a luxury brand that would later on become Chopard. Initially, the brand focused on making watches and then later on joined the fine jewelry market.
Perhaps the most iconic of Chopard’s creations, the Happy Diamonds collection is a masterpiece of design and innovation. This collection includes the Happy Diamonds pendant necklace, which features free-moving diamonds encased in 18k gold, which allows the diamonds to dance and sparkle with every movement.
Chanel
In 1909, the legendary Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel opened a millinery in Paris, marking the birth of what would become one of the most iconic luxury brands in history. Chanel was a trailblazer from the very start by offering chic simplicity and understated elegance that challenged the ornate aesthetics of late 19th-century fashion.
The Coco Crush rings for women have a signature quilted design reminiscent of Chanel’s iconic handbags. Crafted in 18k white gold and adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds, these Chanel rings capture the essence of sophistication and luxury.
