The best women’s jewelry isn’t just a glittering trinket or status symbol. It tells a story. The best jewelry brands create treasured possessions and reminders of a special person or moment.
Whether you’re all about the classics-diamond rings, stud earrings, or a simple pendant—or someone who favors the cool and edgy—a dozen earrings in a single ear, stacks of rings, and layered necklaces—who doesn’t get a thrill from a new piece of jewelry?
Today the best designer jewelry brands are producing exciting new creations at affordable prices. So adding new additions to your (admittedly rather full) jewelry box is less a guilty pleasure than a wise investment—right?

10 Best Jewelry Brands
1. Tiffany & Co.
Blame it on the classic Audrey Hepburn film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but there’s something undeniably timeless about anything from this age-old jewelry designer.
2. Wald Berlin
Wald Berlin is in every fashion lover’s trinket box. Stylist Dana Roski and model Joyce Binneboese originally started the label back in 2012 and since then it has gained huge popularity thanks to their stand-out pieces. The jewelry is reflective of their travels around the world, with the idea being that each item could be worn in bustling cities such as New York or on tranquil beaches in Bali.
3. Bonheur Jewellery
Bonheur Jewellery is best known for its modern, yet understated, feminine pieces with an impressive celebrity and model following. From Serena Williams to Dakota Johnson, Ashley Graham to Kendall Jenner – the brand is a favorite of many. Designed in New York, the idea of Bonheur stemmed from a particular summer holiday evening in Greece, where sisters Ally & Albina Mataj came upon bracelets handcrafted for them by their grandmother for their birthdays.
The sisters became inspired to start a jewelry line that represented travel and the spirit of New York after they felt the love a single piece of jewelry could make the wearer feel. They launched their label in 2015 and have since then evolved into the successful brand it is today that boasts transitional pieces from day to night.
4. Katie Mullally
Katie Mullally combines vintage pieces with modern design, linking it to her Irish heritage. The designer encourages her customers to incorporate their own individuality when it comes to her pieces, for example, her two-coin necklaces are detachable, so the wearer can swap to their own chain or ribbon to layer up with other pieces.
5. Missoma London
British-based brand Missoma London is all about having fun with everyday jewelry. Collections include collaborations with Instagram star Lucy Williams, those featuring beautiful gemstones, and a number of initial-based pieces. Although the necklaces are striking enough to be worn alone, we love layering them up – it’s truly a way to put your personal touch on the pieces and make the jewelry your own.
6. Alighieri
Alighieri is a collection of jewelry inspired by Italian poet Dante Alighieri’s ‘Divine Comedy’. Every piece corresponds to one of the poet’s 100 poems, as designer Rosh Mahtani studied French and Italian at Oxford University. After graduating in 2012, she was inspired to create jewelry influenced by her work.
7. Ejing Zhang
After graduating from the Royal College of Art, Ejing Zhang set up her namesake brand in 2015. Her work is best known for her unique mixed media techniques, as she combines resin and textiles. This is a great name to know if you like to make a statement with your jewelry.
8. Yam
Yam was born when designer Morgan Thomas’ mother bought home a jewelry-making book when she was young, which led to her career.
“Yam is an ode to my later mother, upcycled materials and new nostalgia,” her website reads. Crafted from vintage beads, recycled glass, and metals, each piece is a welcome addition to any jewelry collection.
9. Celeste Starre
Designer Andraya Kenton takes inspiration from her great grandmother Celeste, who she describes on her website as “a modern woman ahead of her time”. She moved from Italy to New York in the 1930s, with Kenton remembering her style and statement jewelry. From delicate rainbow hoops to fun pearls, Celeste Starre is one to have on your radar.
10. Katerina Makriyianni
You won’t have failed to miss Makriyianni’s trademark fringed, fan earrings on Instagram. The colorful statement pieces – made by the Greek jewelry designer – are the perfect finishing touch to a simple outfit and make for particularly special holiday jewelry.
