The 32 Jewelers to Watch in 2013

1884 Collection Jewelry

In 1884, a Roman family started creating jewelry that encompassed the ideals of faultless craftsmanship, inimitable style and smoldering passion.

More than a century later, those ideals hold steady as 1884 Collection, named for that momentous year, has gained fame and a following. Designer Alberto Petochi, a scion of the jewelers, fell in love with jewelry as a child, spending countless hours in his family’s workshops. He is now following his childhood dreams and fulfilling his passion for jewelry, design, style, philanthropy and Italian history.

For Alberto, an afternoon spent in the shadows of the Trevi Fountain formed “the wish” that inspired and solidified the collection. Based on ancient Roman coins—a signature motif of the brand— that have been passed down from generation to generation, the 1884 Collection tangibly captures the palpable history of the antique currency.

The names of the collections are an integral part of the inspiration and were chosen to distinguish and reflect the redeeming characteristic of each piece.

For example, the Rosa Collection, named for the Garden of Roses in Rome, features colorful sapphire, diamond and emerald beads. Each piece, anchored in thoughtful design by an ancient Roman coin, reminds the wearer of the opulent ancient Roman galas which would end with rose petals being showered from the canopy onto the festivities below.

BUCCELLATI JEWELRY

In 1750, Contardo Buccellati set up a shop in Via degli Orafi in Milan and over the years jewelry making and silversmithing have remained the core business of the family.

Generation after generation, starting with Mario in 1919 and continuing on to his son Gianmaria, the company has spread its love for tradition and its passion for excellence in jewelry making across the world. The collections of jewels, silver items and watches employ various techniques belonging to the Italian Renaissance period, which combine to provide the exquisite finish that sets the Buccellati group apart from other jewelry companies.

Unlike other firms that rely on hired designers and the work of contract craftsmen, the House of Buccellati preserves the tradition of the Italian “bottega,” or studio, where Gianmaria and his son Andrea conceive and create their own designs. The prizes received and the exhibitions highlighted by Buccellati over the years prove that the brand’s love of thorough work and meticulous jewelry has made them the pride of Italy.

MILLENNIUM NECKLACE

An extraordinary example of the goldsmith’s art, this necklace was designed to replicate the world’s most decorative laces. Yellow gold worked with a honeycomb technique and white gold bezels accommodate the piece’s mind-boggling array of 646 brilliant-cut diamonds. Despite the sheer volume of the piece’s diamonds, it remains flexible thanks to Buccellati’s carefully employed enchainment technique (price available upon request).

IMPERIAL NECKLACE

Of all gems, emeralds are the most precious and the Imperial Necklace, with its 21 emerald garland, pays homage to the stone’s opulent glow. Featuring over 22 carats of brilliantcut diamonds, the decoration accompanying these faceted emeralds resembles imperial laurel crowns, calling to mind notions of victory and majesty. Furthering this impression, the necklace has been entirely handcrafted in white gold— with the “rigato” engraved bezels in yellow gold—and small “sfumato” engraved lilies (price available upon request).

ETERNELLE RINGS

Crafted with centuries-old gold working methods, Buccellati’s Eternelle Rings are timelessly styled in white or yellow gold, engraved or hand-set with a central stone, the hub around which the design develops. But no matter how the designs are expanded upon, the Eternelle Rings are still distinctly Buccellati in their nature (all prices available upon request).

EARRINGS WITH PEARLS

Though a pair of pendant earrings will never compete with the beauty of a woman’s face, they will surely be able to underline all the beautiful characteristics enumerated upon by countless poets, sculptors and painters. Featuring 254 round brilliant-cut diamonds and two drop-shaped pearls, totaling a shocking 91.34 carats, this set proves to be no exception (price available upon request).

ANTHOCHRON CUFF WATCH

This “Watch-Jewel” captures both Gianmaria and Andrea Buccellati’s two biggest influences, art and history, in one stunning piece. A contemporary version of the ancient “slave’s style” bracelet, the 18K cuff watch—available in both yellow or white gold and “ornato” engraved in the Buccellati tradition—represents the endless and unbreakable bond of love between man and woman (price available upon request).

CASATO JEWELRY

Synonymous with elegance, Casato’s sophisticated craftsmanship, dedication to detail and imaginative aesthetic merge to create immaculate jewelry.

The Roman maison launched in 2004 and has since then dedicated itself to creating luxury baubles that present the excitement of an international brand but keeps the personalized touch of a bespoke jewelry house.

Founder and Artistic Director Federico Gauttieri, a descendant of an ancient noble family, was raised with an appreciation for the poetic, finding beauteous inspiration in art, architecture and travel. An iterant explorer, Federico takes artistic cues from his voyages, incorporating the spirit of exotic landscapes, Oriental perfumes and enchanting colors into his designs.

Playing with a glittering group of amethysts, sapphires, blue topazes, peridots, garnets, turquoise, coral and quartz, Federico chooses each precious stone for its story and harmony and combines it with flawless diamonds to create a unique narrative for each collection. Using a personal faceting technique, Federico’s end product is a tale of visual erudition that responds to the refined tastes of the modern woman.

DAPHNE

Standing out amongst the blinding sheen of rose gold and white diamonds, David Morris has set itself apart because, as David’s son and current designer Jeremy Morris puts it, they’re simply “better.”

Though a statement like that is surely a subject of debate in the bespoke jewelry market, Morris’s pieces ultimately speak for themselves. Beginning in 1963 with a De Beers International Award-winning marquise brooch and continuing today with the collections found in the following pages, David Morris has a longstanding tradition of crafting jewelry that silences critics and sends admirers stumbling for the nearest seat.

DAYEKH JEWELRY

As a second generation family business, Dayekh has seen it all.

The adventure began in West Africa where the founder, Hassan Dayekh, began his career mining riverbeds until deciding to open his rough diamond import office in Antwerp in 1975. A few years later he became world-famous for having polished one of the world’s greatest diamond, The Challenger. Weighing in at a massive 295 carats, it gave birth to four diamonds of exceptional quality, with the HRD diamond lab going on to call it the largest diamond they had graded up till May of 1983.

Unsurprisingly, when Dayekh’s desire to begin creating jewelry arose they entered the market with equal aplomb, establishing an office/showroom in Beirut before opening their first retail space in Antwerp. From humble 540-square-foot beginnings, Dayekh’s diamond district-based space quadrupled its size in a decade, blooming into one of Antwerp’s premier jewelry boutiques.

From the start, however, Dayekh had little interest in crafting pieces that weren’t truly singular or utterly unique. Starting with a stone-first (as opposed to design-first) philosophy, Dayekh finds a unique stone and then proceeds to build around it. This makes each piece, and thus each owner, absolutely oneof- a-kind. With an aversion to mass-production and a commitment to handcrafted excellence, Dayekh has proven to the jewelry world that their passion for creating bespoke beauty is equaled only by their customer’s capacity for appreciating it.

LOTUS FLOWER RING

From the mind and hands of one of the three most important polishers of the 20th century, the “D” brilliant cut’s diamond faceting pattern and historic perfect score on light performance tests has helped to make the piece’s 105 facets—inspired by the lotus flower—glow even brighter than the flower of enlightenment itself (about $32,086).

Eclat Jewelry

Eclat Jewels, a leading purveyor of fine jewels to the most exclusive retailers in the world, is a name synonymous with quality, sophistication, style and elegance.

Each piece tells a narrative of whimsy and adventure in dazzling combinations of diamonds, emeralds, sapphires and spinels, to name a few favorites.

What sets Eclat Jewels apart from other brands is that the collection is composed of only one-ofa- kind pieces handmade by master artisans. Their approach to design is an “inside out” philosophy. First, the creative director finds unique stones that inspire him. Then he and a team of designers create an original piece of jewelry based on the unique personality and life of the stone. In essence the stones dictate the design and are the premise for the entire Eclat Jewels collection. The result is a compilation of singular and exclusive pieces that are bold, colorful and timeless—yet very much of the moment.

Creating traditional jewelry for the modern woman, Eclat Jewels caters to the true luxury consumer; she does not want the brand names or ubiquitous signature pieces. She wants what no one else has—something truly rare and exceptional, just like her.

For more than 25 years, Hellmuth has focused on craftsmanship and attention to detail, garnering a following of stylists, editors and A-list celebrities that include Amy Adams, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson, Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian and Rihanna.

Mattia Cielo Jewelry

Representing modern jewelry as the highest expression of art and the finest form of aesthetic research, Mattia Cielo, a fine jewelry brand for the 21st century, is based in Montenapoleone, Milan.

The brand was masterminded by Mattia Cielo himself, together with award-winning designer Massimiliano Bonoli.

Talking about their work, they explain: “We use technology and mechanism for a very basic reason: We want elastic, dynamic and ergonomic jewels. Movement is crucial to our work because it gives life to the jewels.

“Materials are important as well,” they continue. “Titanium gives us lightness, rose gold is able to transmit such energy and warmth to anyone wearing it and diamond is the king of light.

“Besides the aesthetic aspects, which are of course very important when designing a jewel, we like the challenge of designing and crafting what gives us the chance to show off our skills. Our aim is to create timeless jewels.”

The Mattia Cielo manifesto speaks of an ambition to “rewrite jewelry’s architectural rules” and their latest collection shows just that—with trademark bravura.

Matthew Campbell Laurenza Jewelry

We dare you not to fall madly in love with everything Matthew Campbell Laurenza designs—a hardship for those who have already fallen under the spell of the statement bohemian-luxe creations of his eponymous label M.C.L by Matthew Campbell Laurenza.

Launched at Bergdorf Goodman in 2007, the initial collection thrillingly had to be reordered five times within the first month to meet the overwhelming frenzy of demand.

Matthew’s impressive designs were received by the fashion world as a breath of fresh air, with both Time Magazine and the New York Times labeling him “Upcoming Designer to Watch” in 2008. The dramatic, youthful colors and eclectic styles exploded across the covers and pages of international publications Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and W Magazine, and are a staple on the red carpet among celebrities, with every collection generating greater anticipation than the last.

Simply put, the pieces are arresting works of art. Matthew’s innovative vision and trademark ability to blend antique looks with playful sophistication and flawless craftsmanship delivers signature aesthetics unique to the label. The opulent creations are sculpted in 9.25 sterling silver and plated with rhodium for a timeless appeal. The finest natural sapphires, rubies and semiprecious gems are then handset alongside vibrant enamel shades to exude that trademark M.C.L flair.

Matthew is a travel junkie at heart and his extensive voyages stimulate his designs and infuse that alluring appeal into his modern-day couture pieces. The collections are tied together by a current that traces back to his upbringing, one that revolved around his family’s vast collection of art and antiques. With a closer look, it is clear that the works of the Renaissance, Gothic and Art Deco movements have clearly influenced his distinctive style.

Today the signature creations are available across the globe at luxury retailers and independent boutiques in 32 markets with over 200 points of sale including Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Harrods, Liberty London, Isetan, Barneys New York, Lane Crawford and many more.

Matthew’s mastery of combining striking enamel colors with genius versatility is an intriguing statement that consistently captivates attention and makes heads turn.

Pamela Huizenga Jewelry

Pamela Huizenga’s studio tables are scattered with a dazzling assortment of gems, both glittering and gritty.

Diamonds, rubies, aquamarines, garnets, hemimorphite, uvarovite, emerald slices, multicolored sapphires and watermelon tourmaline share space with seashells and fossilized sea biscuits. The designer-cum-lapidary celebrates the combination of beauty and imperfection found in nature by creating exclusive jewelry with precious metals, gemstones and other natural elements. The result is a specimen of organic elegance, balancing texture, color and shape into a wearable mosaic of gems and metal.

Pamela learned to cut stones at the tender age of 16, instilling in her a deep appreciation and respect for the stones she works with. Focusing on the colors and shapes of gemstones, she works with their imperfections, instead of against them, allowing the stones to guide her designs.

“One of the most exciting aspects of being a designer is that I can create what I want,” says Pamela. “But what makes it all worth it is when someone sees your work and ‘gets it.’ They can feel the mystery in the stones and relate to why you created the piece. That is the most rewarding part of designing jewelry, when someone else can enjoy and appreciate your creation.”

While Pamela’s bracelets remain her signature, her designs, which are available at several fine jewelry boutiques and galleries, continue to evolve. From showstopping pendants and picturesque earrings to conversation starting rings, each piece of jewelry is a conscious artistic expression.

The woman who wears Pamela’s jewelry craves the artistic and original. She is someone who appreciates the intrinsic beauty of gemstones and the precision of exceptional craftsmanship. She is as unique as the jewelry itself, a one-of-a kind woman who decks herself in one-of-a-kind designs.

TIMELESS BLUE CHALCEDONY

Prediletto Jewelry

The Prediletto collection is a creative portrayal of innate beauty found in everyday objects designed by Carla Forte.

The designer is applauded for her unique ability to imagine the world around her in gemstones and gold. This talent to translate the literal world full of furniture, windows, books, clothing and other inanimate objects into one of elegant, classically beautiful jewelry is the very thing that sets the Prediletto collection apart in the market. Set in 18K gold, the collection is accented with diamonds, gemstones, wood, hammered silver or enameling.

Carla is a worldwide traveler who employs a global aesthetic—combining technical skills honed in New York City, the influence of Renaissance painters acquired from years spent living in Florence, and a playful taste for French-inspired trompe l’oeil or “tricks of the eye.” From her international travels, Forte has gained an expansive inventory of beautiful memories, from which she draws her inspiration. “When I look at a window, it is so much more than just a window,” muses Forte. “I see panes of the palest crystal—aquamarine with shimmering gold framework, drawn from my memories of Venetian balconies.”

Shamballa Jewels

In 2001, inspired by Buddhist prayer beads, Mads Kornerup strung together gold beads with a braided nylon thread for the first time.

Following the success of the design, Mads and Mikkel Kornerup established Shamballa Jewels in 2005 and continue to create jewelry inspired by spiritual principles. With their jewelry, the brothers hope to encourage people to find their inner Shamballa, a mythical Himalayan kingdom believed to be inhabited by enlightened, compassionate people. The Star of Shamballa logo is present in each piece to remind you that just like stars, humans emanate heat and light. It is to remind you that you are a star.

Shamballa Jewels’ repertoire includes meticulously crafted customizable bracelets, necklaces, cufflinks, earrings and rings which are set, braided and polished by hand in Copenhagen, Denmark. Their designs have become collectors’ items for purveyors of style like Karl Lagerfeld, Valentino, Diane Von Furstenberg and royalty from across the world seeking personalized, everyday fine jewelry.
