Along with coveted handbags, coats, scarves, and more, getting clued up on the best jewellery brands will do more than complete an outfit. Jewellery can tell stories, acts as a talisman and makes statements. The best jewellery brands get that, and the list of designers and labels we’ve curated below reflect and appreciate this layered mindset.
- Demi-fine jewellery: Think of this category as the jewellery equivalent of your wardrobe essentials: versatile, endlessly wearable, and well made. The pieces tend to be crafted from either 14-karat gold or 18-karat-gold-plated vermeil and are available at more attainable price points.
- Fine jewellery: Getting engaged and looking for a ring? Celebrating a milestone? Just want to put your bonus to good use? Spend some time looking at the pieces of jewellery here — there’s everything from statement charm necklaces to stunning gold rings with intricate diamond settings.
- Fashion jewellery: Also known as costume jewellery. This category can get a bad rep for being of poor quality, but the brands here are raising the bar with unique designs and offbeat material choices. The result? Colourful pieces that are a whole mood.
- Lab-grown diamonds: A lot of the brands on this list already have sustainability practices baked into their process — either by producing locally, ethically sourcing stones, or using recycled or reclaimed materials. A few are taking it a step further and focusing solely on lab-grown diamonds. Get to know them below.
