ORBISTHE JEWELLERY ISSUEJewellery sits among sculpture and household objects at Wild Gecko Handicrafts, whose Accra selection draws on Ghanaian and West African craft. Imseeh Jewelry offers gold and diamond pieces through its Amman network, extending from everyday jewellery to wedding collections. Amsterdam's Anna + Nina carries recycled 14K jewellery and personalised charms, with vintage rings among its other pieces.
This plate lists 1,287 shops in 118 countries. Paris has the most with 54, followed by Nairobi with 14. Among these shops, 122 describe made-to-order work, 64 offer repairs, 136 sell online and 10 work by appointment, going by their own descriptions.
Ask who made the piece: a shop that can name the bench and the person at it is selling something different from finished stock.
Ask for the metal standard and the stone: ask for purity rather than colour, and for any grading document that comes with a stone.
Ask whether it can be resized or repaired: settle the terms for sizing and repair before buying anything that has to fit.
Some jewellers only see clients by appointment. BAUNAT asks visitors to book ahead for its Antwerp showroom at Schupstraat 21, so check before you travel.

Amagertorv 4, Copenhagen / Online
The silversmith of the North since 1904 — Art Nouveau hollowware to Ilse Crawford; the Amagertorv flagship gleams like a vault opened for visitors.
Best for Silver hollowware & Nordic jewelry
Georg Jensen, a sculptor turned silversmith, opened his Copenhagen workshop in 1904 and built the case that silver could carry modern art: his Art Nouveau hollowware and jewelry — grapes, blossoms, hammered surfaces — won international acclaim, and the designers he gathered made the smithy a movement. The house's collaborative model produced landmarks across a century: Johan Rohde's Acorn cutlery, Henning Koppel's biomorphic pitchers, Arne Jacobsen's steel, Vivianna Torun's open bangle watch. The Amagertorv flagship on Strøget presents jewelry, watches, hollowware, and home silver in the house's home city, where the silversmithy tradition continues. The silver jewelry — Möbius rings, Torun bangles, Koppel pieces — is the accessible entry; the hollowware is the museum-grade summit. Danish design's entire twentieth century can be read in this one company's catalogue.
The Amagertorv store displays museum pieces beside current stock; ask to compare a vintage-pattern piece with its modern production — the continuity is the house's proof.

Parisian medal-maker and jeweler since 1803 — christening medals, Académie swords and fine gold charms. The current presidential Grand Collier of the Legion d honneur, first given to Vincent Auriol on 1 December 1953, was made by Arthus-Bertrand (Grande Chancellerie press dossier).
Best for Christening medals, Académie swords, and gold charms since 1803
Arthus-Bertrand traces its origins to 1803, when Claude Arthus-Bertrand, a former military officer with a strong interest in scientific exploration, established a Paris bookshop and publishing house; he went on to serve as official publisher to the French Naval Ministry, releasing accounts of contemporary expeditions. The company's present identity as a medal and jewelry house dates to 1889, when the marriage of Claude's grandson to Marie-Adelina Marion -- daughter of the owner of a military embroidery and insignia workshop -- merged the two family businesses. The combined firm went on to manufacture France's Legion of Honor medals and decorations for the French state, along with académie swords, civic and military honors for roughly fifty countries, and fine jewelry. Arthus-Bertrand holds the official French government designation "Entreprise du patrimoine vivant" (Living Heritage Enterprise), recognizing rare artisanal know-how, and the house has engraved the ceremonial grand collar of the Legion of Honor worn by every French president at inauguration since Vincent Auriol in 1953, each one personalized with the president's name and military insignia. The firm's clientele has historically included Napoleon III and successive French ministries. Today Arthus-Bertrand operates multiple Paris boutiques, including long-established locations on rue Royale and rue Bonaparte, alongside its continuing state and institutional decoration work.
Place Vendôme, Paris
Boucheron was the first jeweler to open on Place Vendôme, moving to No. 26 in 1893 though the maison had already existed since 1858. Its designs include the Serpent Bohème, the Quatre ring, and the clasp-free question-mark necklace.
Best for Quatre ring, Serpent Bohème
Frédéric Boucheron was the first of the great jewelers to move to Place Vendôme, opening at No. 26 in 1893 — legend says he chose the sunniest corner of the square so his diamonds would catch the light. The maison had already existed since 1858; the address made it an institution, and every rival that followed was, in effect, moving into Boucheron's neighborhood.
The house style has always been more daring than its neighbors'. The Serpent Bohème, born of a protective serpent necklace Frédéric made for his wife Gabrielle, coils through the catalogue; the Quatre ring stacks four of the maison's codes — gold grosgrain, clous de Paris — into modern architecture; the question-mark necklace, clasp-free and asymmetric, scandalized and seduced the Belle Époque. Under creative director Claire Choisne the high-jewelry collections have become the square's avant-garde — jewels in titanium, rock crystal, even sand.
Now part of Kering, Boucheron keeps its salons above the original shop — 26 Place Vendôme, still the sunniest corner.
Paris / Online
Paris jeweler founded in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier; earned a royal warrant in 1856 and the title 'jeweler of kings'; introduced the Santos watch (1904), the Tank (1917), the panther motif (1914), and the Love bracelet (1969).
Best for Love bangles and Tanks.
"The jeweler of kings, the king of jewelers" — the phrase attached itself to Cartier because the client ledgers made it undeniable: crowned heads across Europe and beyond commissioned from the house, and the royal warrants accumulated like the pearls in its inventories. Since 1847, Cartier has occupied the precise point where jewelry becomes language — and its vocabulary is the most fluent in the business.
Three words do most of the talking. The Tank, born from the geometry of the machine age, made the rectangular watch permanent — a shape so correct it has never needed rescue or revival, only continuation. The Love bracelet turned commitment into hardware: an oval of gold that closes with its own screwdriver, jewelry as a small ceremony of intention. And the panther — Cartier's great familiar — prowls across brooches, rings, and watches, muscled in diamonds and onyx, the house's wildness kept precisely under control.
Made in France, the pieces travel as a portable court: wherever gold is taken seriously, Cartier's grammar is already understood. This Florentine address on Via della Vigna Nuova places the house in the city that practically invented the goldsmith's art — a respectful visit from the jeweler who went on to dress the kings Florence's bankers once financed. The red box, the screw motif, the panther's gaze: a hundred and seventy years of luxury's most complete sentence, still being written.

Napoleon’s jeweler on Place Vendôme — Joséphine tiaras, Bee My Love honeycombs and imperial heritage. after making Napoleon's coronation sword and Pius VII's tiara, Nitot became jeweller to the imperial court and appointed supplier to Empress Joséphine (block dated 1804–1815). Son François-Regnault moved workshops to Place Vendôme no. 15 in 1812 (now the Ritz).
Best for Joséphine tiaras and Bee My Love honeycomb jewelry from Napoleon's Place Vendôme
Chaumet's founding client list needs only one name: Napoleon. Marie-Étienne Nitot, who established the house in 1780, became the Emperor's official jeweler — the coronation crown, the consular sword bearing the Regent diamond, and tiaras for both empresses, Joséphine and Marie-Louise. The maison has traded on that imperial intimacy ever since; Joséphine is not a muse here but a product line.
The tiara remains the house signature — Chaumet has made more than 3,500 of them, and its Place Vendôme salons keep a museum of nickel-silver tiara maquettes that reads like a crown registry of Europe. The Bee My Love collection turns Napoleon's imperial bee into honeycomb pavé; Liens ties its knots through wedding registers.
The maison has occupied 12 Place Vendôme since 1812 — Chopin died upstairs — and its grand salon still looks onto the column cast from Austerlitz cannon. Two centuries after the coronation, Chaumet remains what it was hired to be: the jeweler of French sovereignty, now sold by the carat.
Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris
French silversmith since 1830 — Mood egg flatware capsules and the art de la table of embassies. In 1842 Charles Christofle bought the patents for silver and gold electroplating and, official text says, was the only patent holder in France for 15 years; Louis-Philippe ordered a service for Château d’Eu.
Best for Mood egg flatware capsules and embassy-grade silver tableware since 1830
Charles Christofle, a jeweler by training, acquired the French patents for electroplating in 1842 and turned silver from aristocratic hoard into republican splendor — Christofle, founded 1830, became goldsmith to King Louis-Philippe, then to Napoleon III, whose imperial table it laid entire. The Tuileries burned; the craft survived; the house has set the French state's grandest tables ever since, embassies and Élysée included.
The catalogue is table history itself: Marly's rococo flourish, the Art Deco masterpieces of the 1920s and 30s created with Gio Ponti and Luc Lanel — the house's Normandie ocean-liner commissions remain collector grails — and the Mood egg, a mirrored capsule holding service for six, which made silverware an object of desire for apartments without butlers.
Production continues at the Normandy ateliers in Yainville with silversmithing's full trade intact. Owned by the Chalhoub family group since 2012, Christofle remains the argument France perfected: that civilization is measurable in the weight of a fork.
29 Avenue Montaigne, Paris
A New York fine-jewelry house founded in 1932 by Harry Winston, who bought the 45.52-carat Hope Diamond in 1949 and donated it to the Smithsonian in 1958; its Paris salon at 29 Avenue Montaigne has operated since the early 1960s.
Best for The Hope Diamond's donor and Oscar-night jewel lender, on Avenue Montaigne.
Harry Winston founded his jewelry company in New York in 1932, opening a Fifth Avenue salon and shifting from diamond dealing into designing and selling jewelry under his own name. He built a reputation for handling major historic stones, most famously purchasing the 45.52-carat Hope Diamond in 1949; in 1958 he donated the diamond to the Smithsonian Institution, a gift that became the founding centerpiece of the museum's National Gem Collection and remains on public display in Washington, D.C. Winston's Paris presence dates to the early 1960s, when he opened a salon at 29 Avenue Montaigne, in the same stretch of the 8th arrondissement associated with the city's major couture and jewelry houses; Winston himself presented collections there in person during that period. The Avenue Montaigne salon was renovated in 2014 and continues to operate as the house's flagship high-jewelry location in Paris. The company has also loaned jewelry for major public occasions, including Academy Awards ceremonies, and its association with the Hope Diamond remains central to how the house's history is presented publicly today.
Rue de la Paix / 2nd
Paris high-jewelry house founded 1613 by a family of tinkers from Val Vigezzo, Italy, and passed down 14 generations. Billed as the world's oldest jewelry house and the last independent one in France, it remains headquartered at 9 Rue de la Paix near Place Vendome.
Best for Historic Paris jeweler with high jewelry, precious stones, and old-world craft
Mellerio dates its founding to 1613, tracing its origins to an Italian family from the Val Vigezzo valley in northern Italy who first worked as itinerant tinkers before establishing themselves in the French jewelry trade. The house describes itself as the oldest family-owned jewelry house in the world and the last independently owned one in France, with the business having passed through 14 generations of the same family. It has long been associated with the Place Vendome district of Paris, describing itself as the first jeweler to settle in that area, and today operates from 9 Rue de la Paix in the 2nd arrondissement. The house's offerings span fine and high jewelry organized into collections such as 'Les Muses,' Giardino and Cabinet de Curiosites, alongside engagement and wedding jewelry, jewelry watches, and a line of fragrances and candles.
PRINTEMPS
German jewelry and accessories house founded in 1984 in Lauf an der Pegnitz by Thomas Sabo, a trained precision mechanic; built its name on ear cuffs and charm bracelets, opened its first store in Frankfurt in 1998, and now sells through roughly 1,200 points of sale in some 70 countries.
Best for Sterling charm jewelry storytelling since 1984
Thomas Sabo GmbH & Co. KG was founded on 8 May 1984 by Thomas Sabo, a trained precision mechanic, in Lauf an der Pegnitz, Bavaria. The company initially sold imported jewelry from Asia before developing its own collections, working with graphic designer Susanne Kolbli to shape its early aesthetic. Its breakthrough product was an ear cuff inspired by London punk style, which became a widely recognised fashion item and helped establish the brand beyond its regional origins. Thomas Sabo opened its first dedicated retail store in Frankfurt am Main in 1998, and has since built out a global network combining owned stores, e-commerce and retail partners.
22 Place Vendôme, 75001 Paris
One of the world's most prestigious jewelry maisons — the Alhambra motif since 1968 and the patented Mystery Set. Its salon at 22 Place Vendôme is the spiritual home of French high jewelry, defined by craftsmanship and stone selection.
Best for Alhambra jewelry and Mystery Set stones.
Van Cleef & Arpels began as a marriage: Estelle Arpels and Alfred Van Cleef wed in 1895, and in 1906 their families opened a boutique at 22 Place Vendôme, where the maison still stands. The address matters — this is the square's romantic jeweler, the one that made poetry rather than power its register.
Two inventions define the house. The Mystery Set, patented in 1933, seats rubies and sapphires so no metal shows — a carpet of pure stone that only a handful of the maison's own hands can execute. And the Alhambra, born 1968, turned a quatrefoil of luck into the most recognizable motif in fine jewelry, worn from Grace Kelly's era to this morning's métro. Between them came the Minaudière, the jeweled evening case the house invented in the 1930s, and the zip necklace suggested by the Duchess of Windsor.
The Place Vendôme salon remains the pilgrimage point: high-jewelry ballerinas, fairy clips, and stone selection that jewelers themselves speak of in lowered voices.
New Delhi / India
A seven-generation Delhi jewellery house tracing its lineage to the walled city of Shahjahanabad, Shri Ram Hari Ram is known for polki, gold and diamond bridal jewellery. Its flagship showroom in Saket offers personalised appointments, custom design and upgrading services.

Bowbazar, Kolkata
Founded in 1886 in Bowbazar, Kolkata's traditional jewellery quarter, this family-run house grew from a single goldsmith's shop into a multi-generation gold, diamond, and bridal jewellery business. It still trades on Bengali craftsmanship traditions for pieces like the tabij and cabling-work bangles associated with the city.

Milan / Online
Mario Buccellati opened his Milan goldsmith house in 1919, developing hand-engraving techniques such as rigato's parallel lines and tulle engraving that turns gold into lace. The house is now led by the fourth generation, Andrea and Lucrezia Buccellati.
Best for Hand-engraved gold and heirloom silver.
Mario Buccellati opened in Milan in 1919 and D'Annunzio, his most flamboyant client, called him "the Prince of Goldsmiths." The nickname stuck because the work was unmistakable: gold treated as fabric. Buccellati's engravers use techniques the Renaissance would recognize — rigato's parallel lines that make metal shimmer like silk, tulle engraving that turns gold into lace — executed with tools essentially unchanged in a century.
The house is a dynasty in the literal sense. Gianmaria Buccellati carried his father's craft through the twentieth century; today Andrea Buccellati oversees creation with his daughter Lucrezia, the fourth generation. The signatures compound across formats — the Macri bracelets, honeycomb Tulle rings, Ornato silverware that sets embassy tables, and the annual one-of-a-kind cocktail rings that collectors treat as a vintage.
Since 2019 the maison has been part of Richemont, its ateliers still in Italy, still hand-engraving. In an industry of polished surfaces, Buccellati sells texture — the only house whose gold you recognize by touch.
Munich / Germany
Hemmerle is a fourth-generation Munich jewellery house on Maximilianstrasse, where it has traded since 1904, creating one-of-a-kind jewels that pair rare stones with unorthodox metals like iron and copper. The boutique welcomes visitors by appointment for its sculptural, made-to-order pieces.

Historic & Traditional Shops, Naples / Online
Naples goldsmith atelier founded 1894 by Raffaele Barbarulo, documented via his 1894 marriage record; now run by his great-grandson Cristiano Barbarulo, the fourth-generation jeweller, since 2012.
Best for Neapolitan cufflinks and studs.
Barbarulo Napoli 1894 is a family goldsmith's workshop in Naples specializing in handmade cufflinks and jewelry. Its founding is dated to 1894 via an act of marriage recording founder Raffaele Barbarulo's trade as a goldsmith in the province of Naples that year. The business passed down through the family across four generations; Cristiano Barbarulo, Raffaele's great-grandson, took over running the atelier in 2012 as the last direct descendant still active in the trade, continuing the handcrafted production methods while developing the range further. The workshop is known for bespoke cufflinks and has supplied pieces used in film, including for Michael Caine in Youth and Geoffrey Rush in The Best Offer.
Historic & Traditional Shops, Naples / Online
Naples jeweler on Via San Biagio dei Librai, inside the Renaissance Palazzo Marigliano; bought as a shop in 1922 by Maria, widowed after her husband Paolo's earlier goldsmith workshop in the Sanità district closed, and still family-run in gold, silver and coral.
Best for Neapolitan coral and gold.
Salvio Gioielleria's history begins with Paolo, who ran a goldsmithing workshop with more than twenty craftsmen in Naples's Sanità district in the early 20th century — an operation that closed amid wartime disruption. After Paolo's death, his widow Maria, left with three children, bought a shop in 1922 at Via San Biagio dei Librai 41, inside the 16th-century Palazzo Marigliano in the heart of Naples's historic center — the same address the business trades from today. The family has run the shop continuously since that purchase, a stretch the business itself marks as 96 years of operation in its own materials, and describes its continuity as passed 'from generation to generation.' The jewelry mixes gold, silver and coral — coral working has its own long tradition along the Bay of Naples — and the shop also runs a workshop doing restoration of antique and religious objects, engraving, and repairs to gold and silver pieces, plus routine services like watch battery changes.
New York / Online
New York’s blue-box jeweler since 1837 — the Tiffany Setting, Elsa Peretti and Schlumberger under LVMH stewardship. The Fifth Avenue store, open on this corner since 1940, reopened in April 2023 as The Landmark after the LVMH-era renovation.
Best for Blue-box classics.
The blue box precedes the jewelry. Charles Lewis Tiffany opened his New York store in 1837 and spent the century turning American retail into theater: the first retail catalogue, the acquisition of the French Crown Jewels in 1887 that earned him the nickname "King of Diamonds," and the six-prong Tiffany Setting of 1886, which lifted the diamond off the band and became the default grammar of the engagement ring worldwide.
The house's design history is unusually deep for a jeweler its size — Jean Schlumberger's enameled fantasies (Jackie Kennedy's bracelets), Elsa Peretti's Bone cuff and Open Heart, Paloma Picasso's graffiti. Audrey Hepburn at the Fifth Avenue window in 1961 fixed the brand in cinema permanently.
Under LVMH since 2021, the maison has been polished hard — the Landmark flagship on Fifth Avenue rebuilt as a ten-floor museum of itself. The robin's-egg blue, trademarked as a color, remains the point: no other house is identified that completely by a shade.

Rome / Online
Rome jewelry house founded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari, who opened his first boutique on Via Sistina; the flagship moved to Via dei Condotti in 1905, where it became a fixture of Rome's 'Dolce Vita' era. Known for the Serpenti coil motif and bold cabochon-set high jewelry.
Best for Serpenti jewels and Roman high jewelry.
Jewelry houses borrow from antiquity; Bulgari behaves like its heir. Founded in Rome in 1884, the house works as if the classical world were not a museum but a supplier — coins set into gold, cabochons cut bold and domed where Paris whispers in facets, colored stones combined with an appetite the Romans would have recognized as their own. The result reads instantly: this is jewelry from the city of emperors, made by a house that never saw a reason for restraint to be the only form of taste.
The Serpenti is the thesis worn on the wrist: a snake of gold and enamel coiling as if excavated from a villa and improved by modern hinges — antiquity, engineered. It slithers through the house's history from watches to high jewelry, the emblem of a maison that treats glamour as a Roman birthright. Via Condotti, at the foot of the Spanish Steps, is the ancestral address: the boutique where the dolce vita bought its jewels and the twentieth century's most photographed women stopped between films.
Everything is handcrafted in Rome from precious stones and metals, and the Roman-ness is not a marketing note but a working method — the boldness of scale, the saturation of color, the conviction that a jewel should be seen across a piazza. Paris made jewelry an etiquette. Rome, through Bulgari, kept it an appetite.
Parte Vieja, San Sebastián
San Sebastián jewelry artisan since 1935 in Parte Vieja—three-generation family shop handcrafting gold and silver pieces, pearls, chains, and restoration in-house.
Best for Handcrafted jewelry made in-store by a family since 1935
Casa Munoa opened in San Sebastián's Parte Vieja (old town) in 1935 and operates today as a three-generation family jewelry workshop. The current owner, Claudio Munoa, is a master jeweler with over 35 years of experience who designs all pieces created on-site. The business model centers on handcrafted production: customers purchase pieces that Casa Munoa manufactures in its own establishment—'vendemos las piezas que nosotros hemos fabricado en nuestro mismo establecimiento.' Beyond original designs, the shop offers selected pearls, gold chains, vintage jewelry, and full restoration and redesign services for existing pieces. The emphasis on in-house craftsmanship and local Basque production appeals to customers seeking transparency and quality over scale. Located in San Sebastián's historic center, Casa Munoa represents a survival of traditional Spanish jewelry practice in an era when most shops retail imported goods. The three generations of Munoa family stewardship—and Claudio's personal mastery—have sustained consistent standards across eight decades.

Best for Diamond classics from Valenza's gold district.
Damiani is an Italian high-jewelry maison founded in 1924 by goldsmith Enrico Grassi Damiani in Valenza, a Piedmontese town whose goldsmithing tradition dates back generations. Enrico built a reputation among Italian aristocratic and prominent families for exacting craftsmanship. His son, Damiano, later took over the business, pushing its design language toward newer trends and broadening its reach internationally. Over a century, Damiani expanded from a single artisan workshop into a group with boutiques across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas, while production has stayed rooted in Valenza. Today it remains under the stewardship of later generations of the Damiani family.

The last working workshop of C.R. Ashbee's Guild of Handicraft, Hart has hand-raised silver at Chipping Campden's Old Silk Mill since George Hart took over in 1912. His descendants David, William and Julian Hart still make bespoke pieces from thimbles to full tea services.
Best for Ashbee's Guild of Handicraft
Hart Gold & Silversmiths is the last operating workshop descended from C.R. Ashbee's Guild of Handicraft, the Arts and Crafts collective Ashbee founded in London's East End in 1888 and relocated to Chipping Campden in 1902 in an attempt to resettle craft production away from the city. The Guild itself dissolved not long after, but the silversmithing workshop survived: George Hart took over its management in 1912 and kept it running inside the Old Silk Mill on Sheep Street, where it remains today. His son Henry joined in 1930, and the business is now run by the third and fourth generations of the family -- David, William and Julian Hart, alongside longtime silversmith Derek Elliott -- continuing more than a century of hand-raising silver on the same Cotswolds site. The workshop makes domestic silverware, jewellery, and ecclesiastical and civic commissions, taking on pieces that range from a single hand-engraved thimble up to a complete tea service, all still shaped and finished by hand rather than cast or machine-formed. It is one of the few Guild of Handicraft workshops anywhere still producing under its original craft, on its original site, run by descendants of the man who took it over just over a decade after Ashbee founded it.

Poland's oldest jewelry company, tracing to an 1840 Poznan workshop; renamed W.Kruk after Wladyslaw Kruk took over in 1893, it's now a national chain of 160+ stores, Poland's exclusive Rolex (2004) and Patek Philippe (2020) representative, with a manufactory near Poznan.

W.KRUK's history begins in 1840, when Leon Skrzetuski opened a workshop in Poznan producing liturgical items and made-to-order jewelry. His nephew, Wladyslaw Kruk, took over the business in 1893 and became the first jeweler in the Poznan market to publish an illustrated catalog; in 1896 he opened the first salon under the W.Kruk name. The firm expanded into Swiss watch brands between the wars, modernized production starting in 1974, and listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2003. It became Poland's official Rolex representative in 2004 and Poland's exclusive Patek Philippe representative in 2020. Today W.KRUK operates more than 160 stores across Poland.

Jewelry line by Amsterdam-based designer Irem Sesigur, founded 2013: fine layered chains and coin pendants drawn from her Lycian heritage and travels, sold online and via boutiques.
Best for Layered chains and coin pendants shaped by Irem Sesigur's Lycian heritage
Maison Irem is a jewelry line founded in 2013 by designer Irem Sesigur, who was born in the Mediterranean region and is based in Amsterdam. She started the brand after being unable to find jewelry that matched her own taste, building a collection around fine, layered chains and intricate coin motifs drawn from her Lycian ancestry and her travels. The pieces are designed for stacking or wearing alone, aimed at an understated, everyday style rather than statement jewelry. Maison Irem sells directly through its own site, maisonirem.com, and through a number of multi-brand retailers and showrooms. The brand consistently describes itself as Amsterdam-based; its layered chains, coin motifs and Lycian references belong to that Amsterdam context rather than a Paris boutique story.

Jade Maya has mined, cut and polished jadeite in Guatemala since 1974, with Guatemalan craftspeople carrying forward the carving traditions the company set out to revive. Museum replicas, one-of-a-kind pieces and Maya day-sign jewellery create a direct place-to-product connection rooted in local stone and craft.
Best for Guatemalan jadeite, Maya replicas and day-sign jewelry
Jade Maya was founded in 1974 by archaeologist Mary Lou Ridinger and her husband Jay Ridinger, who came to Guatemala to solve an archaeological problem. They wanted to know what had become of the jade sources used by the Maya and six other ancient civilizations over three thousand years. That year they rediscovered the deposits along the tectonic plate boundary that runs east to west through central Guatemala. Samples sent to the Gemological Institute of America confirmed jadeite, which is the harder and rarer of the two jades. Instead of exporting rough stone, the Ridingers chose to restart a carving industry that had been lost at the Spanish Conquest. They built a factory in September 1974 and trained descendants of the Maya to carve replicas of ancient treasures. The company now describes some 63,000 square feet of factory and showroom space with a museum. Over 300 Guatemalans earn a living from mining and carving jade, and from selling it. Everything is cut and polished in-house, from museum-quality replicas to jewellery in lavender jade and Olmec blue jade. Finished pieces go straight to the showroom at 4a Calle Oriente No. 34 in Antigua Guatemala, one of eight shops in the country. In March 1999 President Bill Clinton spent two hours in the factory and showroom, and a percentage of web sales supports scholarships through the Maya Conservancy.
Antigua Guatemala
Founded in 2012, this Antigua studio takes its name from the Maya underworld phrase for "the place where stones are born," and its jewelers carve jade alongside gold and silver metalwork for rings, cuffs, and earrings. The workshop deliberately leaves tool marks and irregularities visible in the finished pieces, treating that texture as evidence of the hand behind the work, and also teaches jade-carving classes to visitors.

Grovewood Village, Asheville, NC
Grovewood Gallery presents American art and craft across two floors in Asheville's historic Grovewood Village, with work by makers from around the country. Established in 1992, the gallery occupies a site once used by Biltmore Industries for weaving and woodworking. Visitors can explore studio furniture upstairs and outdoor sculpture alongside smaller works ranging from glass to ceramics and jewellery.
Best for American craft, studio furniture and outdoor sculpture in Asheville
Grovewood Gallery occupies the former weaving and woodworking complex of Biltmore Industries, on eleven acres beside the Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville. Edith Vanderbilt founded that enterprise with two teachers, Eleanor Vance and Charlotte Yale. By the late 1920s, under Fred Loring Seely, it ran more than forty looms turning out handwoven wool fabric that shipped as far as China and Uruguay.
The customer list from those years ran to Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Helen Keller, along with several American presidents and first ladies.
The gallery that fills the site now represents over 350 artists and craftspeople from across the United States, in a collection running from tableware to furniture. It is not a museum shop bolted onto a historic site. Working artist studios sit on the grounds, and craft demonstrations run through the year alongside rotating exhibitions.
The rest of the village holds the Biltmore Industries Homespun Museum and an antique car museum. A docent-led history tour ends inside the original Dye House, which is otherwise closed to the public and still holds the dye vats and the spinning mule.

Best for Fashion jewellery
Folli Follie was established in Athens in 1982, starting as a jewelry manufacturer before launching a watch line in 1994 and opening its first overseas store in Japan in 1995. The company grew into an international accessories retailer before a hedge fund's 2018 investigation found that Folli Follie had overstated its store count and misrepresented its finances; Greek prosecutors found that chairman Dimitris Koutsolioutsos and his son and then-CEO George Koutsolioutsos had forged bank statements between 2009 and early 2018. Greek courts convicted the pair, handing down sentences of 10 to 17 years in 2020, with investigators estimating total losses to investors and creditors at roughly 413 million euros. The Folli Follie brand itself continued trading afterward: its current retail site identifies the operating company as 'FF OPSCO' and lists four active Athens stores alongside an online shop.

Best for Handcrafted sculptural jewelry in silver and gold.
Neso Studio is a jewelry atelier founded around 2019, with its main showroom on the fourth floor of Praxitelous 33 in central Athens and a second base in Naousa, on the island of Paros. Each piece is made using the traditional technique of wax sculpting -- carving or modeling a design in wax before it is cast -- and every finished piece is cast in sterling silver (925) and hand-finished with a signature 18-karat gold plating. The studio incorporates precious and semi-precious gemstones, including quartz, citrine, kyanite and aquamarine, set into sculptural necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings. According to the studio's own account of its process, a single piece takes at least five days to complete from wax model to finished object, reflecting a small-batch, hand-executed production process rather than mass manufacturing. The dual Athens/Paros footprint mirrors a common pattern among contemporary Greek jewelry ateliers, which often split time between a year-round city studio and a base in the Cyclades tied to the summer season and to island-based material and craft traditions.

Charoen Krung, Bangkok
A specialist contemporary art-jewelry gallery representing Thai and international makers. Established 2010.
Best for Contemporary art jewelry from Thai and international makers, since 2010
ATTA Gallery was founded in 2010 by Atinuj (Atty) Tantivit, becoming Thailand's first gallery dedicated specifically to contemporary art jewelry. Tantivit's path to the gallery was unconventional: her first career was in marine resource management, and only after pursuing a graduate gemologist certificate -- and years spent collecting Native American jewelry while living in the United States -- did she pivot toward representing studio jewelers working outside conventional fine-jewelry norms. The gallery's name, ATTA, comes from Pali, the ancient Indian liturgical language also used in Thai, and means "self," a deliberate nod to its founding emphasis on the individual expression of both makers and collectors. ATTA opened its doors at the end of August 2010 in a 50-square-metre space at O.P. Garden, with an official opening that November. Marking its 2020 anniversary, the gallery relocated to a considerably larger space at Warehouse 30, in the Charoenkrung district that anchors Bangkok's Creative District. In 2022 ATTA broadened its remit beyond jewelry to represent a wider range of contemporary visual art, with a continued emphasis on materiality, while retaining its founding identity as a hub for Thai and international studio jewelers.

SARRAN is a Thai jewelry house founded in 2008 by artist Sarran Youkongdee, who works in an "art-to-wear" style treating jewelry as wearable sculpture rather than conventional adornment, often built around flower and nature motifs. Youkongdee's work has drawn international recognition, including the MAD Museum New York/Tiffany & Co. Foundation Award in 2018, and wider visibility after BLACKPINK member Lisa wore one of the brand's headpieces in the music video for her 2021 solo single "Lalisa." In April 2024, SARRAN opened its first flagship, called "Life Studio," at River City Bangkok, a riverside art-and-antiques complex on Charoen Krung Road - the brand's inaugural dedicated retail space since its founding. Roughly twice the size of the brand's earlier space, the two-floor studio was designed by the Paris-based architecture firm RDAI and blends contemporary lines with Thai vernacular details: bamboo screening, locally woven carpets, and a curved, champagne-toned facade. The space combines showroom and workshop functions, including a tea lounge for clients, and displays collections such as The Ambassador and Oriental Blue alongside a signature "Made in Soul" perfume line. Product categories span earrings, rings, necklaces, bangles, ear cuffs, hairpieces and pins.

Sifani is a jewellery business established in 1970 whose collections centre on coloured gemstones. Its online catalogue includes sapphire jewellery in gold alongside pieces using stones such as morganite. The company lists retail locations in Sri Lanka and the Maldives, as well as London.
Best for Coloured-gemstone jewellery
Sifani Jewellers is a family-run coloured-stone jewellery business established in 1970. Its designs draw on the turquoise water and white sand of the Maldives and the plant life of Sri Lanka, translating those colours into gemstone combinations rather than treating the islands as a generic motif. The company describes a collaborative process between designers and craftspeople. Stones are handpicked and paired, then balanced for proportion and symmetry before setting. Current pieces give that practice material detail. The catalogue includes an 18k white-gold star sapphire ring accented with diamonds. An 18k pink-gold morganite pendant offers another combination, while a white-gold butterfly necklace uses pink sapphires and diamonds. Those examples show a focus on coloured stones across rings and pendants, with necklaces extending the range. Sifani operates stores in Sri Lanka and the Maldives and maintains a customer-relations office in London. The business also names Pahamune House and a vocational training institute among its social programmes. A jewellery-setting school completes that group. The 1970 foundation and hand-selection process make the entry more specific than a general luxury-jewellery description. Its regional gemstone palette and family-run network root the business in Sri Lanka.

Colombo
Stone-N-String is a Sri Lankan jewelry brand handcrafting coral, semi-precious stone and sterling silver pieces across three generations. The family business, trading for more than 40 years, also sells a men's Divo collection and Ceylon cinnamon.
Best for Handcrafted coral, semi-precious stone and sterling silver jewelry
Stone-N-String describes itself as Sri Lanka's leading fashion jewelry name, and its own account traces the business back more than 40 years to a family passion for coral and semi-precious stones. That founding material — genuine coral — remains central to the brand's identity today, worked alongside semi-precious stone and sterling silver into necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings sold from outlets in Colombo and shipped island-wide.
The company has since built out a men's line, Divo, covering chains, cufflinks, rings and tie pins, and has diversified beyond jewelry into genuine Ceylon cinnamon products — a nod to another of Sri Lanka's signature exports. Pieces are organized around recurring collections tied to occasions like Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Ramadan, alongside standing categories like lasso necklaces and pearl jewelry.
What distinguishes Stone-N-String from a typical fashion jewelry chain is the generational framing: the brand markets itself explicitly as a three-generation family craft business rather than a manufactured retail concept, with materials and techniques it describes as unchanged since its founders began. For shoppers seeking coral jewelry marketed as a distinct Sri Lankan material rather than a generic gemstone, it's a directly relevant stop.
