That’s why I personally prefer investing into fine jewelry. And when it comes to luxury, fine jewelry, there are a couple of iconic brands to know. Perhaps you’ve already heard about some of these. Nonetheless, it never hurts to refresh one’s mind. So, if you’re looking to build a jewelry collection of heirloom-worthy pieces, here are the 5 best luxury jewelry brands to invest in.

2. Tiffany & Co.

While the iconic Audrey Hepburn movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s might have increased the popularity of Tiffany & Co., its story actually commenced back in 1837. The heritage brand best known for its diamonds and sterling silver jewelry, Tiffany & Co. is luxury at its finest. Basically anything from the brand is considered an excellent investment. And it couldn’t be otherwise, as Tiffany’s famed blue jewelry box is just as coveted as its contents. However, when considering to add a Tiffany & Co. piece to your collection, it doesn’t hurt to check out some of the brand’s most iconic collections, such as Elsa Peretti, Tiffany Keys and Tiffany T. Particularly, the Elsa Peretti Open Heart Pendant has remained a top seller ever since its release in the 1970s.

3. Van Cleef & Arpels

For over a century, Van Cleef & Arpels has captivated the lovers of luxury jewelry with feminine and whimsical designs. Citing nature as their inexhaustible source of inspiration, the brand creates pieces that echo the flora and fauna in the most exquisite ways. Take, for example, brand’s Frivole collection – modeled after flowers, or the Two Butterfly collection inspired by the butterflies in flight. However, out of all Van Cleef & Arpels collections, the most iconic is the Alhambra. First launched by the brand in 1968, the four-leaf clover motif has since become a Van Cleef & Arpels signature. A timeless symbol of good luck, today the Alhambra can be found across bracelets, rings, earrings, necklaces, and even watches.

Since its inception in 1884, Bulgari has demonstrated an extraordinary talent for creating magnificent jewelry designs. The hallmark of the Maison – the Serpenti Collection stars the enigmatic serpent, a symbol that represents wisdom, vitality and seduction in the ancient Greek and Roman Mythology. First introduced in the 1940s, the Serpenti motif has established itself as an icon after appearing on Elizabeth Taylor’s wrist in the Cleopatra movie from 1963. Today it’s found on everything from Bulgari’s jewels to their timepieces and bags. Avid fans of Bulgari might also want to check out brand’s B.zero1 Collection.
