Jewelry tends to have a pace slower than fashion, yet nevertheless it is constantly changing, growing, and evolving. Here at Vogue we pride ourselves on maintaining our fingers on the pulse while continuously pushing forward to what’s next. We buzz with excitement when we find a new jewelry designer or brand that brings novelty to the discipline, pushes the envelope, and embraces history in its own way.

Our list below includes jewelry designers that look to antiquity and vintage for inspiration—Prounis, Juju Vera, and Le Sundial. Others, like Danielle Sherman of Sherman Field and twin sisters Amalie and Cecile Moosgaard of Lié Studios created their brand to fill the void of beautiful, sculptural, and versatile basics. More still, such as Don’t Let Disco and Presley Oldham, are drawn to found and organic materials. The below list represents a group of jewelry designers who aren’t simply one thing and bring a freshness to the jewelry world that inspires the imagination and the hope of acquisition.

Le Sundial

Le Sundial’s statement tassel necklaces are a favorite at Vogue HQ. The Milan-based brand uses natural stones and sterling silver to create impactful pieces that add a sense of sophistication and intrigue to any outfit.

Dorsey

LA jewelry brand Dorsey made a name for itself creating jewelry box staples like Rivière necklaces and drop earrings using lab-grown stones. Seven years on, designer Megan Strachan has continued making the hits while growing the output with more trend-driven designs and incorporating color—both in gemstones and materials.

Don’t Let Disco

The jewelry Ashley Moubayed handcrafts in her studio in Dumbo is colorful and deeply textural. The 2025 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist sources beads from all over (“Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Etsy,” she told Vogue previously) to create her pieces.

Julietta

Julietta doesn’t believe in jewelry as adornment—more that it’s a key part of wardrobing. Its pieces all make a statement and incorporate both natural elements, such as shells, and sculpted metal.

Lucy Delius

Eponymous British Fine Jewelry Brand, Lucy Delius brings vintage inspiration to modern jewelry. Chains and T-bar pendants are based on those of vintage watches, black-dyed baroque pearls are strung on red silk thread for the traditional Greek meaning of passion and luck, pinky rings with pavé diamonds of varying sizes are set in the random Victorian style.

Jessica McCormack

New Zealand native Jessica McCormack believes diamonds and precious stones shouldn’t live in the safe. Her versatile designs are highly wearable and layerable. McCormack’s designer jewelry is also a celebrity favorite for the red carpet, everyday life, and engagement rings.

Sherman Field

It’s been seven years since Danielle Sherman, former Creative Director of The Row and Edun, started her fine jewelry brand Sherman Field. What started as a curated selection of chains and cigar band rings has flourished into lockets, chain bracelets built to stack, beaded earrings, and now, silver pendants to hook and layer onto silk cord necklaces.

Juju Vera

After working as a vintage dealer, New York-based Julia Ferentinos was inspired to make her own jewelry and objects. The 2026 CFDA finalist’s work draws heavily on her Greco-Roman heritage, while remaining modern in size and attitude.

Lié Studio

Versatility is at the center of twin-sister-led brand Lié Studio. The pair focus on simple, wearable pieces—mainly metals—that can be incorporated into busy lifestyles—like their own.

Pamela Zamore

Pamela Zamore looks to inspiration in fine art, decorative art, and vintage jewelry to create 18-karat jewelry that is definitively anti-trend. The 18-karat gold pieces have signature definition and dimension without being too hefty for the wearer.

Vertigo

Taylor Sade created Vertigo jewelry out of a want for timeless designs that still felt individual and versatile. Sade’s bold and whimsical pieces are handmade in New York City with deadstock material lots from all over the world.

Brilliant Earth

Never sacrificing their stance on sustainability or style, Brilliant Earth’s gemstones are dazzling for any kind of occasion, dressy or casual. Our favorite finds include these 14k solid gold huggie hoop earrings and these lab-grown diamond and cultured pearl drop earrings.

Mejuri

The diamond market can be tricky to navigate–fair pricing, high quality, and ethical sourcing are often hard to come by. Rare Carat aims to offer guidance and transparency in this space, while boasting a wide selection of beautiful jewels.

Garland Collection

Garland Collection is a personal project that has led to a very fruitful jewelry brand. Nicole Novick Mann’s collection is one of Vogue’s favorite places to find charms and engravable plates. Over the years, Novick Mann has expanded her offering including more colorful stones and intricately engraved gold jewelry.

Sophie Bille Brahe

A specialist in cool girl, delicate luxury jewelry, Danish designer Sophie Bille Brahe crafts modern, one-of-a-kind pieces that work for both everyday wear and special occasions, newly including engagement rings and wedding bands for the fashion bride.

Prounis’s approach to pieces begins with her passion for beautiful objects. Jean Prounis designs and makes the pieces with sustainability in mind, using recycled 22-karat gold and largely repurposed stones.

Boochier

Melinda Zeman’s slinky bangles and ingenious use of enamel always garner a response (and often a purchase) in the Vogue offices. We love the fresh and lively spirit the pieces bring to any look.

James Allen

If it seems like James Allen has it all—diamond tennis bracelets, everyday huggies, and gemstone keepsakes—that’s because it does. The brand even lets you customize engagement rings, earrings, and necklaces for bespoke sparkle, offering an array of both natural and lab-grown diamonds in the metal of your choosing. Discover our latest favorites from the collection.

By Pariah

Each piece by British brand By Pariah is at once sustainable and sophisticated. Simply elegant rings, earrings, and personal necklaces are created with recycled gold and unheated carved precious stones.

Stephanie Gottlieb

Stephanie Gottlieb, who has been steadily gaining traction—in part due to custom pieces with Taylor Swift—has found that her jewelry that resonates the strongest with clients are pieces she has designed for herself.

Modern and impactful in their simplicity, Erede’s ethical pieces are standouts for daily wear. Australian brand founders Jeramie Hotz and Talia Shavalov bring their knowledge of fashion, production, architecture, and industrial design to the jewelry space to give new life to everyday essentials.

Bea Bongiasca embraces color through enamel and stones. Bongiasca began with her easily identifiable curly-cued designs and has developed to some more substantial pieces with finer stones of late.

Brent Neale

Here at Vogue, we love to see pieces that are out of the ordinary. Brent Neale Winston infuses her handcrafted fine jewelry with color, fun, and art. She’s also spearheading the custom jewelry business, from stone resets to brand-new designs, she’s one to approach for a special project.

Crowned the Queen of Hoops by The New York Times on the occasion of her New York store opening, Fisher has continued to flourish and expand her cutting-edge and modern pieces, including venturing into lab grown diamond jewelry.

Foundrae

Foundrae has been a Vogue favorite since it was founded in 2015. The Foundrae mission is for each piece of jewelry to become part of the wearer, to tell a story, and to express one’s identity and values.

David Yurman

Yurman, an independent American jewelry house built by David Yurman, (sculptor) Sybil Yurman, (co-founder, designer, and muse), and son Evan Yurman (now President of the company) put silver on the map as a material for fine jewelry. Up until Yurman championed it, silver was rarely—if ever—paired with diamonds. It created a moment of democratization in jewelry. We love that their signature cable motif still influences much of the design and remains a modern cornerstone of the brand.

Renna

Renna Brown-Taher has expanded on her original inspiration of coffee bean shells to a broader, more all-encompassing brand.

Swarovski

Giovanna Engelbert has updated the heritage crystal brand with color, and sculptural designs. Swarovski is as much loved for their classic tennis bracelet as they are for colorful, sparkly ear cuffs.

Uniform Object

David Farrugia’s line Uniform Object has expanded the boundaries of what fine jewelry can be. Easy to layer or as impactful on its own.

Beck

Beck pays homage to memories spent at sea and is inspired by shapes such as masks from early underwater explorations and dazzling sand patterns.

Unique jewelry that is inspired by—and created in—centuries passed techniques that is so versatile it works with the modern wardrobe or incorporated into the costumes of period dramas, such as Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
