6 Chic And Contemporary Jewellery Brands To Know In 2025
From Maison H’s molten gold silhouettes set with the finest diamonds, to Tanya Farah’s female-centric, scintillating designs, discover six stylish jewellers on our radar right now…
İTÄ
“We don’t just make shiny objects, we want to create wearable stories and memories, pieces that honour our cultures and the places we love,” begins the story behind İTÄ, a jewellery brand born from two decades of friendship. Puerto Rican and Turkish friends Inés Capó and Afet Burcu Salargil met at university while studying magazine journalism and fashion design, and have spent almost 20 years riffing on each other’s creative spirit, contrasting cultures and rich heritage.
In 2019, the pair brought İTÄ to life, exploring Turkish craftsmanship through the mythical stories and symbols of the Caribbean, creating gleaming collections of characterful jewels. The ‘Encantada’ collection references the mother goddess Atabex and is adorned with bold coloured gems and vivid enamel, while the ‘Sempiterno’ collection heroes gleaming yellow gold carved into gemstone silhouettes – both sparkling tributes to this dynamic duo’s many talents.
Maison H
Maison H designs immediately convey the artisanal background of its founders – Hisham Mahomed and Fatima Tayob meticulously perfected their diamond polishing and mounting skills, and garnered a loyal following of VIP clients, before launching their own Dubai-based brand in 2012. “We continue to pride ourselves on the quality and cutting of diamonds, as this is the identity of our core holding company,” says Hisham. “We then use our inspirational influences, tools, and local Middle Eastern artisans to create collections that reflect creativity and emphasises our story.” The ‘Skin’ collection is testament to this expertise, featuring tactile, body-intuitive pieces that are designed to mimic molten gold and are imperceptibly set with glistening diamonds.
Joanna Laura Constantine
Demi-fine designer Joanna Laura Constantine launched her eponymous brand in 2010 and works out of her Beirut studio and workshop, but her designs have been worn internationally by a roster of celebrity devotees – Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Chiara Ferragni, to name a few. Joanna graduated from Parsons School of Design before interning at a number of major fashion maisons, and her pieces marry a fashion-forward spirit with practical gold-plating, cultured pearls and Swarovski crystals. Catching our eye? Her enamel and rhinestone earrings, in striking shades of acid yellow and electric blue.
Karma El Khalil Fine Jewelry
Karma El Khalil cites a mother-daughter trip to Beirut as a defining moment of her beginning to build her fine jewellery brand, where she began to draw designs that local artisans were keen to bring to life. The evolution of her career flowed organically thereafter, and Karma now crafts glittering collections of artfully composed colourful jewels. A trained gemmologist, Karma lives in New York, where she is inspired by architectural and geometric silhouettes. Her ‘Conversations With The Moon’ collection – featuring ethereal shades of aquamarines, opals and blue chalcedony – was dreamed up during the sleepless nights she spent during the pandemic, with the jewels designed to conjure light at a time of global darkness.
Tanya Farah
Tanya Farah’s ‘Empowerment’ collection celebrates Suffragette coins from the early 1900s, with gleaming gold discs bearing ‘Votes For Women’ motifs. A nod to the ingenuity, determination and talent of the women who came before us, the collection displays Tanya’s signature storytelling, with each collection themed around womanhood and the female experience. Brought up in Iran, Tanya remembers some of her first interactions with fine jewellery on a monthly trip with her mother to a jewellery shop in Tehran, and her collections are wonderfully diverse – from myriad gem-set bangles and stacking rings, to egg locket pendants and opulent hoop earrings.
Ascher by Shouq Al Fulaij
Kuwaiti designer Shouq Al-Fulaij is a minimalist’s dream – her sharp angles, sleek finishes and geometric silhouettes can be worn as singular pieces or stacked together to amplify their shine. Worn by Rihanna, Shouq’s designs are everyday essentials that feel elevated and refined – her pavé diamond bands, angular hoop earrings, ear cuffs and huggies can be effortlessly mixed and matched. Shouq’s first collection played out in black rhodium-plated 18-karat gold, but her most recent designs explore rich yellow gold set with vibrant emeralds – choose between bands dusted in pavé set stones and bolder styles featuring baguette cut gems.
