4. Julie Vos Jewelry

Roberto Coin Jewelry

This brand has been synonymous with luxury Italian jewelry since 1996. Founder Roberto Coin left his career as a hotelier to dive into the world of fashion and quickly fell in love with jewelry. For almost 3 decades, the Vicenza-based designer has drawn inspiration from life in Italy’s “City of Gold.” The city’s rich history, grand palaces and charming villas all contribute to Roberto Coin’s vibrant yet sophisticated aesthetic.

Roberto Coin trained under some of Italy’s most skilled jewelry artisans to develop his craft and hone his personal style. His collection is ever-expanding, with the brand adding over 600 new pieces in a typical year. Pieces from Roberto Coin run the gamut from elevated basics to lavish, colorful creations. Most feature charming Old World motifs and Italian-inspired themes, and all Roberto Coin designs have a small ruby hidden somewhere within the piece, an elegant brand signature. 

For under $1,000, you can find upscale takes on jewelry classics like diamond station necklaces and gold hoop earrings. These pieces use the finest 18k yellow gold and genuine diamonds. 

Meet the only pair of yellow gold hoops you’ll ever need. Simple but stunning, this pair will take you back to basics in style. Artisan craftsmanship and genuine yellow gold ensure that these earrings will last a lifetime. 
 





When you want a subtle touch of luxury, reach for a diamond station necklace. It’s hard to top this classic design in terms of elegance or versatility. No jewelry collection is complete without a necklace like this, so why not get the best version possible?
     

David Yurman Jewelry

Designer David Yurman was originally a sculptor and his wife, Sybil, was originally a painter. When the two met in 1969 and began collaborating on various art projects, they discovered a shared passion for jewelry design. Together, they built a revolutionary brand, fusing each and every jewelry design with their years of experience as artists. Their one-of-a-kind motifs and techniques have garnered a global following, and to this day they are considered one of the most groundbreaking design houses in the world.

Early Yurman pieces incorporated bold features inspired by sculptures, as well as lapis, garnet, pearl and other precious and semi-precious gems. Since then, the studio has experimented with color, texture and material to create a number of renowned collections. They are perhaps best known for their signature ‘cable’ designs.

This Classic Cable Bracelet is crafted from sterling silver with yellow gold accents and two amethyst stones to top off the piece with a splash of vivid color.

   
The Yurmans’ knack for playing with contrast to create visionary designs is on full display in these crossover stud earrings, a mix of sterling silver and yellow gold that combines not only colors, but textures.

Lali Jewels

The name Lali Jewels comes from Bassalali, the surname of the multi-generational jewelry family that owns this brand. Brothers Arun and Adam launched the company in 2015. Though the brand is newer, it’s steeped in a rich family history. Adam and Arun’s father, David, worked in the New York jewelry industry for decades. David’s father Arun Sr. was a gem hunter, traveling Europe and the Mediterranean in search of the world’s most beautiful stones. The entire Bassalali family legacy is apparent in each piece from Lali Jewels.

Lali pieces are centered around exquisite gemstones. Whether it’s a white diamond, an orange citrine or a vivid blue sapphire, rest assured that each and every gem used in a Lali piece is the finest of its kind. For those who love gemstones, those who embrace the beauty of bold color, and those who live for self-expression, there’s no better gift than a piece from Lali Jewels.


The richer the red, the finer the ruby. These deep, velvety reds speak volumes about the quality of gems in this gorgeous set of yellow gold, diamond and ruby hoop earrings.
 

An elevated take on a diamond fashion ring, this piece showcases truly radiant stones set in shimmering yellow gold. The wavelike design ensures this ring will sparkle brilliantly from any angle for a dynamic, eye-catching effect.
 

Julie Vos Jewelry

Named for its founder and head designer, the Julie Vos brand is committed to crafting attainably priced jewelry with a luxury look and feel. For two decades, Julie Vos has worked out of her New York City headquarters using exacting, time-tested techniques to create a broad collection of bold pieces. Vos and her design team are inspired not only by the grand beauty of the natural world, but also by the everyday beauty found in a city like New York: parks, antique shops and great museums. 

The Julie Vos design team uses traditional lost wax casting methods to create artisan-quality pieces meant to stand the test of time. Julie Vos pieces often use pearl and mother of pearl, glass gems and colorful enamel in addition to genuine 24k gold plating. The prolific design team releases several new collections per year, often inspired by a unique motif or a particular part of the world. Almost all Julie Vos pieces are under $500, and their collection is so varied that you’re practically guaranteed to find something you love. 

The Madison Link Necklace leans into trending tortoiseshell while maintaining the classic appeal of a chunky statement link, resulting in a piece that has both modern flair and staying power. 
 

While the Madison Link Necklace gives off a bold and youthful vibe, the Astor Hinge Bangle is a taste of Old World glamor. The intricate quatrefoil motif is repeated on both the front and back of the piece, a testament to the exquisite detailing that goes into each Julie Vos piece.
