CFDA: Jewelry is one of the most personal fashion purchases you can make. A craft rooted in sentiment versus seasonality, it is often designed to last a lifetime and can add an extra personal touch to an outfit. Our attachment to these pieces only grows stronger with time – especially when they’re passed down to future generations.

There is a new generation of jewelry designers creating such personal pieces from every material – and at every price point – imaginable. Take a look at some of our favorites.

Brooklyn-born and raised Bernard James started his namesake label in 2010 with a small men’s offering, and has since expanded the collection to include something for everyone. James utilizes fine metals and stones for elevated creations that are both traditional yet personal. The brand’s ‘Family Portraits’ campaign, which has featured creatives such as photographer Quil Lemons and CFDA member Christopher John Rogers, has established his brand as an exciting community-driven label for heirloom pieces with a modern twist.

A graduate of Central Saint Martins and of the Gemological Institute of America, she has received numerous awards, including scholarships from Cartier, Swarovski, and International Talent Support.

As soon as Isabella LaLonde launched Beepy Bella in 2019, her surrealist designs went viral and could be found on every virtual corner of the Internet. Inspired by childhood fantasies, magic, fairies, and mushrooms, LaLonde’s creations combine pearls with glass beads, pioneering a kitschy jewelry aesthetic that celebrates youthful expression. The designer has also collaborated with Adidas on shoe-jewelry pieces, a clothing capsule with Tyler McGillivary worn by Madonna, and a trucker hat collection co-signed by Dua Lipa and Post Malone. No wonder she has a cult-online following and fans like Pete Davidson and Bad Bunny.
