New Gucci is maybe Chopard happy line. Somewhat interesting to see but never really hits the mark.
If Jewelry Designers = Handbag Designers
- Thread starter foxgal
- Start date
JAR. . . Dior haute couture? Or, Duret.com for bags because both have a very particular aesthetic
and an artist’s sensibility evident in their work. This is not negotiable and, to a large extent, the client has to
share that aesthetic in order to be satisfied with the final product
ETA:
Foundrae . . . GUCCI - blingy and hardware intensive
Harry Winston is IMO definitely Carolina Herrera
Stephen Webster (the new colorful Stephen Webster) Paul Smith
De Grisagono or old Stephen Webster (I thought he was somewhat lux goth). . . brunello cuchinelli monili
jacques duclos . . . Elizabeth Lock for her bespoke signature look and craft sensibility
duret . . . Gurhan, elegant, wacky, design oriented, and an acquired taste
peter nitz - briony Raymond, both custom ateliers with very high quality and a refined aesthetic,
willing to work with a client to achieve a certain vision
Graff. . . Naeem khan, feminine, pretty and well heeled
Bayco. . . roger vivier, sparkly
pomellato . . . Loro Piana, no rough edges
fred Leighton/Kwiat . . . Oscar de la Renta

I was thinking Peter Nitz - ? People go to him for once-in-a-lifetime (or more if you’re very fortunate) custom orders. They handcraft one of a kind pieces when they source special stones or skins.

Love this game!
Gucci is Gucci, they've made jewellery since the 1970s
or maybe
Buccellati is Gucci, the were founded within 2 years of each other (1919 & 1921 respectively) and are the epitome of Italian style, Buccellati with precious metal and Gucci with leather
Solange Azagury Partridge is Schiaparelli, because it's imaginative, surreal and overpriced
Jessica McCormack is Moynat because it's slightly quirky, has an old-world look and is idiosyncratically priced
Cartier is Hermes, French, iconic designs, hold value, the most popular pieces are not always the most practical pieces, and many vintage pieces are jaw-dropping.
Theo Fennell is Thom Browne, novelty rules, witty, expensive and sometimes plain crazy
Asprey is Asprey but it wants to be Joseph Duclos
Boodles is Mulberry, classic with a twist, good quality materials, fairly practical and my sister likes both
Fabergé is Perrin Paris, what you see is not what you get, colourful and the most iconic product is round
VCA is Chanel, very French, very feminine, very collectable, very expensive and always hard to get what you want in the right size

I notice people who like Hermes tend to gravitate towards VCA - frivolous style, emphasis on craftsmanship, slow pace.
Tiffany is very LV - mass appeal and brand recognition (super iconic blue box/LV logo), accessible yet still classy. Entry-level lux that holds value.
Those two I feel strongly about, and then... I guess Cartier is like Chanel, they've both got that one incredibly recognizable thing that gets a price increase each year and it's the same one thing on everyone's wishlist (LOVE, black flap...).

Yay! I love this game!
Some of you really hit the nail on the head, so I am sharing your ideas. Please pardon me; I just really agree with you. As for my other answers, I have no explanations for why I see things this way. These comparisons were just the first things that popped into my head:
Graff: Hermès
VCA: Moynat
Harry Winston: Delvaux
Cartier: Chanel
Mikimoto: Dior
Tiffany: LV
Bulgari: Fendi
Roberto Coin: Saint Laurent
John Hardy: Gucci
David Yurman: Givenchy
Pandora: Coach

What about mid-level/contemporary brands? There are lots of upstart handbag brands like Mansur Gavriel, Polene, Jacquemus, etc….what would be their jewelry equivalents?
Pomellato would probably be Phoebe Philo for Celine (hopefully her new own line) timeless, contemporary (as in today), quiet luxury, versatile, wearable and trans-seasonal, unmistakable.
