The Coveted Jewelry Designers Entering Group Chats on the Upper East Side
The Luxury List is a monthly column on all things luxury, exploring cult items from heritage brands, tapping the foremost experts in the fashion space, and doing deep dives into the investment pieces that are worth it.
Lately on the Upper East Side in New York, one thing has become clear: Jewelry has surpassed bags and clothes as the most collectible investment. A string of new fine-jewelry boutiques have been popping up on Madison Avenue as the area is redefining itself as a shopping destination, only further cementing the neighborhood as a hub for jewelry shopping. London-based jeweler Jessica McCormack is one of Wholesale Replica Bag brands to open up a brick-and-mortar store in the area, reflecting the popularity of the brand in the area.
There is a subset of very specific jewelry designers that all of the most stylish people are wearing and coveting. In particular, there's a new wave of young designers who are defining what fine jewelry looks like today. Ahead, shop the fine-jewelry designers the fashion set is investing in or, at the very least, texting their friends about in group chats.
