Popular Luxury Jewelry Brands

Nowadays, jewelry has become more than just pieces of accessories and has turned into works of art. People have also begun wearing jewelry to show their unique style and personality. Designers and brands have picked up this practice, making them come up with more fresh and original concepts for their craft. Naturally, certain people gravitate towards specific concepts, making brands compete more with each other, resulting in even more luxurious brands. But not all brands stand the test of time, especially in Las Vegas, where fast-paced trends only last a couple of years. Below, we have listed the top 5 luxury jewelry brands in Las Vegas that we now consider timeless.

Cartier

Cartier is probably the most popular jewelry brand in the world today. Louis-François Cartier established it in Paris, France, back in 1847. It is also a favorite among royalty. Britain's King Edward VII even referred to Cartier as "the jeweler of kings and the king of jewelers." Eventually, Cartier got a royal warrant—a charter that allows a business to supply a royal court—in 1904. And for centuries, Cartier created and designed jewelry that is fit for royalty.

Perhaps the most popular Cartier item today is the Love bracelet, which has become synonymous to the brand. Its iconic design is attributed to its one-of-a-kind locking mechanism, which can only be secured and opened using a special screwdriver that comes with every bracelet purchase. The concept of this is the commitment of one person to another. This bracelet is very popular amongst couples who are committed to each other.

Tiffany & Co.

Tiffany & co. is another household name when it comes to jewelry. Tiffany & Co. was established in 1837 in Brooklyn, Connecticut by businessman and jeweler Charles Lewis Tiffany and his partner John B. Young. While it began as a stationery store, it eventually transitioned to the jewelry giant we know today.

The most well-known Tiffany & Co jewelry item is the sterling silver Tiffany heart tag charm. It is simple and quaint, and it can be worn as a bracelet charm or a necklace pendant. However, it is infamous for its engraving, saying, "Please return to Tiffany & Co. New York, 925".

Mikimoto

Mikimoto is world-famous for its cultured pearls. Unfortunately, natural pearls are extremely rare and are not sustainable to farm, and only the ultra-rich could afford them. So Koukichi Mikimoto decided to give culturing pearls a try. He eventually became successful and established Mikimoto in 1893. Today, when you hear Mikimoto, you know that it is pertaining to pearls.

The most popular item from the Mikimoto collection is the Mikimoto Classic 18k White Gold Cultured Akoya Pearl & Diamond Pendant Necklace. It showcases a single Akoya pearl with a diamond accent, known for its classic elegance and timelessness.
