Jewelry Designers

Designer jewelry offers a level of luxury beyond compare. With brilliant settings and breathtaking gems, designer pieces from Chopard to Van Cleef & Arpels showcase the pinnacle of jewelry production along with the history of the highest quality gems.

The notion of designer jewelry truly takes its root among early creators who aimed to mark their pieces. The tradition of a stamp or hallmark originally began as early as the 4th century as a means to verify the caliber of a metal, but as jewelers and metalsmiths refined their craft, they wished that the purity of the metal, along with the quality of their workmanship, would be recognized. This “signature” became commonplace on jewelry as a statement of skill and sophistication while also meeting the necessary element of connecting clients to the creator.

Many of the great jewelry designers working today still uphold this tradition, while also incorporating cutting-edge techniques in both metalwork and gem-cutting into their designs. Thus, it is not just the name of the designer that is important; it is, rather, that the name signifies a level of expert quality that makes these pieces so enticing.
