All Jewelry Designers

There are many different styles of jewelry in the world today. No matter where you live, there is a different style that is sweeping your area. However, it seems like a lot of the best designers are from overseas. With that being said, you may want to look into the European jewelry designers. These are people that are making the latest fashion trends, and they are in the European market right now. However, it always seems like it takes years for their fashion hits of today to reach us. So to get up to date with what’s hot now, you need to look into the European jewelry designers of today.

European Jewelry Designers

There are many different ways that you can go about looking for the best European jewelry designers. First, you can check the local stores, however, this is the worse way to go about it. That is because you are going to be seeing what was on the market months ago. The stores are not able to keep up with all the new fashions (unless you live in a top city like New York, and you have a lot of money) that are coming out all the time. It seems like, by the time we get some of their fashion ideas, it is already old news over there. So you have to stay ahead of the stores. The only way to do that is to either live over there in Europe, or to look on the internet. Since most of us are not able to go over and live in Europe, we have to turn to the internet.

Although the jewelry designers that may come to mind when you think of it may not be American, there are plenty of well known American jewelry designers already out there like Henry Dunay and Jose Hess. In fact, there are thousands more of American jewelry designers who have not yet left their mark on the jewelry design world, and are helped each year by the American Jewelry Design Council (AJDC) founded in 1988 by Dunay and Hess.

When one thinks of jewelry designers the names that may come to mind are Harry Winston, Cartier, Bulgari, and so on, with very few American names coming to mind. However, there are some major American jewelry designers that are quite well known as well as up and coming. Have you ever heard of Tiffany’s? Tiffany’s is one of the most important and influential of American jewelry companies and has grown to be a household name, even for those households that could never afford a piece of jewelry from the infamous store. Because there are relatively so few American jewelry designers known worldwide, there have been steps taken in recent years to change that.

Susan Helmich Opal and Agate Pin

One way that American jewelry designers are getting a chance to make their names known and their pieces seen by people all over is through the American Jewelry Design Council (AJDC). The American Jewelry Design Council is a nonprofit organization that helps promote the understanding and acceptance of jewelry design as an art rather than just a craft. In doing so, this organization helps American jewelry designers get their name and jewelry out there in the world.
