7 Fine Jewellery Brands Cool Girls Are Wearing
If you’re in the market for heirloom-worthy fine jewellery that steers clear of traditional, stuffy designs, these are seven names you need to know. These are the fine jewellery brands cool girls are wearing. The brands that break the rules and come with an unapologetic edge, but are crafted with the most luxurious materials, diamonds, and stones, and made by true artisans.
They aren’t cheap, but they are truly special. Whether you’re adding them to your daily go-to of jeans and a blazer or dressing up with occasionwear and heels, these are the brands that will finish off every single look.
Lucy Delius
The perfect marriage of past and present.
Lucy Delius’s jewellery is the perfect marriage of past and present. She takes love for vintage shapes and antique designs and creates pieces that are utterly fresh, modern, and cool. Our top pick? The Diamon Smartie Cocktail Ring – heaven with a tuxedo suit and heels, but just as good with jeans and a white tee.
Lucy designs everything in her London studio, using 14-karat gold and set with diamonds and gemstones, and she is just about to open her first bricks and mortar store on 24th October on London’s Ledbury Road. Be sure to check it out.
Leandra
We love the unapologetically chunky pieces, peppered with dazzling diamonds and black rhodium
Leandra was founded in 2021 in Barcelona, born from a partnership between Alejandra Rumeu Claret and master jeweller Víctor (whose remarkable career began in 1957). Together, they create pieces that are inspired by tradition but very much feel contemporary. The brand’s origin story is a romantic one: it began when Alejandra’s husband gifted her a single diamond, sparking the inspiration to create something more.
We love the big, unapologetically chunky pieces, peppered with dazzling diamonds and black rhodium. These are true diamond statement pieces to keep forever, designed with a distinct cool-girl edge.
Kinn
These are the kind of jewellery pieces that really make an outfit sing.
The inspiring story of Kinn is a bittersweet one. The Los Angeles-based brand was founded by Jennie Yoon after her parents’ home was burgled and their cherished heirloom jewellery was taken. In honour of those lost pieces, Jennie set out to personally recreate the special items by designing them herself.
The result is a collection of jewels that are so special, yet are meant to be worn and loved every day and passed down to loved ones. We particularly love Kinn’s signature use of chunky gold settings with low-set diamonds. These are the kind of jewellery pieces that really make an outfit sing.
By Pariah
There’s no wonder why Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are wall fans.
Chances are you’ll already be familiar with this brand – it’s stocked at the likes of NET-A-PORTER, Liberty, and Harvey Nichols, and has gained countless celebrity fans such as Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. And with good reason: the pieces are utterly divine and offer something completely different to a very saturated market.
Founder Sophie Howard builds the pieces around her love of raw, natural materials, using recycled metals and hand-carved stones, which gives the aesthetic a rustic yet elegant feel. Top of our wish list are the incredible stacking rings – a mix of the brand’s simple ‘Albert’ band, the morganite-encrusted ‘Single Line’ style, and a hand-carved red jasper piece. Worn alone or stacked and chunky, they are absolute heaven.
Blackacre
The aesthetic is classic, but we love their pieces that push the envelope a little.
If you’re after classic diamonds but with a modern edge, personalised service and a dedication to responsibly sourced gems, bookmark Blackacre. They create the highest quality jewellery in a non-wasteful way, promoting sustainability and transparency at every point.
The aesthetic is classic, but we love their pieces that push the envelope a little. The Hinton ring with its stunning natural oval diamond and low setting, and the unique, one-of-a-kind Senna design – a toi-et-moi-inspired engagement ring, which has a pear cut white diamond cosied up to a champagne pear cut diamond too. And for something beyond special? The Origins yellow diamond cluster earrings are top of our forever wish list.
Jessie Thomas
Jessie Thomas comes from an impressive lineage of fine jewellery makers.
London-based Jessie Thomas comes from an impressive lineage of fine jewellery makers. Her father is the celebrated Master Goldsmith, David Thomas, who is known for creating new styles of jewellery in the 1960s, trained under the iconic Georg Jensen and the Swedish Crown Jewellers, and even has permanent pieces on show at the V&A. Today, the father-daughter duo work together hand-making beautiful ready-to-wear and bespoke pieces in their Chelsea studio.
With a dedication to sustainability and ethics, they use recycled gold, responsibly sourced stones, and the highest quality conflict-free diamonds from Botswana. They will also source antique diamonds to be made into bespoke pieces as an alternative. The look and feel is elegant, special, and dressed up, like the pieces you would wear for unforgettable occasions, but there are some modern chunkier pieces that would work for everyday too, plus interesting shapes and classic details made contemporary, like baroque pearls.
Statement Paris
These are the kind of pieces that spark conversation.
This Paris-based brand makes us want to jump on the Eurostar just to try on their stunning pieces. Thankfully, they are available to shop from the UK online. Founded in 2018 by Amélie Huynh, the jewellery house was born from a passion for art and a belief that affirmation can be ornamental. And each piece really does feel like an expression of one’s individuality – these are the kind of pieces that spark conversation.
We love the Meaningful Ring with its chunky shape and covering of diamonds; it’s simultaneously elegant and cool. While the intricate My Way necklace is a true work of art, it takes up to 70 hours to hand-craft.
