Three Jewelry Designers To Watch Out For
Good girls, look away now! These designers are making their own rules with jewelry that is anything but conventional. Three names to look out for, each with her own distinctive style.
Unmistakably Parisienne, Marie Lichtenberg’s designs are simultaneously elegant and irreverent. As a former fashion editor, she turns her razor-sharp eye to jewelry, channeling an obsession with the symbols that unite and connect us: a fascination best exemplified by her engraved gold, and enamel love lockets, suspended from colorful twisted chains. She weaves her way between hearts and mushrooms, secret messages and brushed gold to create whimsical, ever so slightly mystical talismans. Each piece tells a story that is personal to her and relevant to us all. Marie Lichtenberg’s jewelry is discreetly sensual and just the right amount of sassy. This is jewelry with something to say, such as the engagement ring engraved with the words “Would you marry me”, which opens like a finger-sized jewelry box. /public-objects/546e7f86-8780-4579-a678-4e26d305da0e-96cc4229-8f6a-47e8-a169-caf65898d040-Portrait%20Marie%20Lichtenberg_10.2024.webp Image sélectionnée Suzanne Syz doesn’t create jewelry. She sculpts wearable art. Indeed, each one-of-a-kind piece is individually numbered and certified by Origyn blockchain technology: a biometric passport containing the authentication and traceability data required for valuation or resale. A collector of contemporary art and friend of Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jeff Koons, Suzanne Syz injects each of her designs with cultural references, humor and masses of color. Diamonds? Too predictable! She prefers titanium, aluminum and a vibrant palette of bright, bold stones such as Paraíba tourmaline, raspberry spinel and mandarin garnet. Her witty designs are deliciously, deliberately over-the-top. To wear Suzanne Syz is to embrace the art of singularity: flamboyant, joyously creative and with a sense of freedom. /public-objects/3e48fdea-1c1e-4767-9242-88932d0788e6-7d4e7237-5d52-4eb9-87ed-fb2a1f34e2d0-Caspri-03%20(100_%20%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%93%20AdobeRVB1998%20-%208bits%20-%20240dpi)%202560.webp Image sélectionnée Some families chat about the weather. Yvonne Léon grew up in a household where conversations revolved around watches and precious stones. Putting her own stamp on a family tradition - her father and brothers are jewelers -, she reinvents the classics under her namesake brand. Each of her designs incorporates her personal conviction that jewelry can, and should be, about freedom and fun. Unusual animals, signet rings for every finger, earrings to mix and match: Yvonne Léon’s modern, feminine, versatile jewelry is a breath of fresh air. Her accessible vision and non-stop creativity serve an immediately recognizable style… recently spotted on Michelle Obama.
