Jewelry, like wine, gets finer with age, if properly cared for. Think about the royal family, who have worn decades-old tiaras and jewels that contain so much history and still sparkle. Though we won't be borrowing from Queen E's private collection any time soon, we all dream of finding the jewelry that will last us a lifetime. And a good place to start, whether you're looking to refresh your accessories collection or start anew, is the modern fan-favorite brands that strive to make timeless and high-quality (and often affordable!) jewelry.
These newer, fresh labels need our support; they also allow us the chance to score something truly unique, a find that no one else will have and therefore one we'll cherish forever. By the time everyone else discovers the brand, your jewelry piece will have already become a must-have. Whether you're looking for costume jewelry, eco-friendly stone necklaces, or dainty gold rings, I pinpointed the new jewelry brands to have on your radar, ahead.
