As any jewelry aficionado knows, the fun of collecting is constantly being on the hunt for those pieces that you can pick up to add to your everyday armor. And while several of these pieces could easily transition from day to night, and casual to haute couture, the beauty of any jewelry collection is being able to enjoy pieces on the daily, rather than just on special occasions. That's what we love about these pieces from luxury jewelry brands—they're not only beautiful, but you'll enjoy them for years to come.
More modern silhouettes, still inspired by the past and created using the time-honored techniques that we so love here at VERANDA, make these pieces forward-looking while still being anchored to the past (the best of both worlds, in our opinion!). Whether you're gifting these sparkly stunners to a loved one or eyeing a piece for yourself, these are some of the best luxury jewelry brands to consider. Here are the 34 heirloom-worthy pieces we are eyeing now for our own collections.
