Rooted in age-old techniques yet made with longevity in mind, Prounis creates modern heirlooms that feel as though they could have been discovered rather than newly made.

Designed to be layered, stacked, and styled without strict rules, Mizuki jewelry is especially suited to brides who want classic material with a more relaxed, fashion-led attitude.

Art and jewelry have always been closely intertwined at David Yurman, founded in 1980 by husband-and-wife duo David and Sybil Yurman. With New York’s creative pulse as a constant influence, the house has developed an artistic yet wearable approach to everyday luxury. Sculptural form sits at the heart of the brand, most notably in its iconic Cable motif, introduced as a twisted, tactile take on precious metal.

Tabayer
Ancient symbolism meets modernist form at Tabayer, the fine jewelry house founded by Nigora Tokhtabayeva in 2021. The designer’s childhood in Central Asia, where protective amulets formed part of everyday life and family tradition, continues to shape the brand’s central idea of jewelry as something both beautiful and meaningful. Rather than referencing these objects literally, Tokhtabayeva distills their spirit into fluid silhouettes, sculptural curves, and carefully considered voids inspired by American modernist art. Made using ethically sourced materials, Tabayer’s pieces have a striking purity to them, bringing together protection, empowerment, and an elemental approach to contemporary design.
