We have a list of old and high-end jewelry brands and trendy jewelry designers that are coming up with newer remarks in the jewelry industry. The list is surely big, but here we have a selection of the best jewelry designers based on popular choices and unique works.

1. Tiffany & Co ~ Tribute to Elsa Peretti

Elsa Peretti is a signature name of jewelry artistry. Tiffany & Co. has got some iconic designs by Elsa Peretti that will always be adored by the world. Elsa’s creations are real and thoughtful and became the most popular items of Tiffany. Elsa Peretti started working with Tiffany in 1974, She worked on sterling silver and that was quite a Boom for both Silver and Tiffany since that company had not worked on silver for 25 years before assigning her to this silver collection.

Elsa got inspiration from found objects like a bottle, teardrop, bone, jar, and heart that come from a plain surface and are sculptural. Her designs speak of her mind, the emotional soul that wants to stay connected, not to be seen from afar. Carrying the bottle as your necklace, how thoughtful is this! I was wondering what’s the thing. What was in her mind while designing this bottle? Well, it was that gardenia, the flower was admired by the ladies of Portofino, they used to carry Gardenia in their decollete, wear in their hair and it was so much in there..Else, however, thought the flower fades and wilts. So she made that bottle necklace to soak the flower stem in the water to keep the flower fresh!

Her Open Heart Pendant is the most iconic one to mention. This design was inspired by Henry Moore’s sculpture. Elsa says that this open heart pendant celebrates what is inside your heart-that; what is inside is much more important than what is outside, and the open space for you to fill.

Elsa Peretti’s Bone Cuff is another legendary item. Her inspiration for that piece is human bones. It comes in different sizes and for your left hand. You can't wear it on the right wrist since it accentuates your wrist bone by metalizing your wrist. This is so much metal flat that it looks like your hand is made this way like a body part.

2. Cartier ~ Louis Cartier, the Legendary Jeweler

Cartier, ‘King of Jewelers and Jewelers of Kings’; proclaimed by King Edward VII. Cartier is widely regarded as having created more iconic and influential jewelry pieces than any other luxury jewelry brand. European Royalty, Asian Maharajs have been the customers of CARTIER for hundreds of years.

Louis Cartier elevated the art of jewelry design to new heights by fusing traditional techniques with modern materials and designs. He was one of the first jewelers to use diamonds in a non-traditional way, and he also experimented with new materials such as platinum and gold. Louis Cartier's jewelry was often inspired by nature, and he was known for his use of intricate craftsmanship and beautiful stones. His brilliant designs make Cartier House one of the most prestigious jewelry brands in the world.

Asymmetrical structure, Geometry and contrast is the theme of Luis' play with jewelry design. Cartier stacking of rings, cuffs, and earrings are a styling sensation. Cartier’s icon Panther makes an elegant presence in the maison of Cartier. Lois gave Jeanne Toussaint the first full body Panther made with diamond. And then Toussaint, who became the art director of Cartier, introduced Panther in three dimensions in the year of 1948, she kept the Panther motif high and that became a style icon of the 20th century.
