Contemporary designers vs traditional jewelry houses?

[aa12]

I wasn't familiar with Spinelli Kilcollin's line. They are very pretty! I enjoyed browsing through their website.

I believe they are sold at Barneys, I could look at jewelry all day long!

I LOOOOOVE Taffin and Courteille, and this is a GREAT list you came up with! What fun to think about different jewelry houses. I'd also add Verdura (wouldn't it be fabulous to have one of their Maltese cross bracelets? Although they don't look too comfy) and I also really like Hemmerle, which seems to be very highly regarded by the jewelry dealers Camilla Dietz Bergeron and Patricia Hambro. Of course there is JAR too!

Hopingoneday, when it comes to jewelry we are CLEARLY kindred spirits!!


And you definitely know your jewels!

Yes absolutely Verdura is one of the best! I have a maltese cuff and it fits very well and is actually pretty comfortable

And yes JAR! There is a thread here on the jewelry forum dedicated to JAR. JAR is in a league of its own, wouldn't you say?

ps. and yes dear that is my panthere bracelet on the avatar.
