Lately on the Upper East Side in New York, one thing has become clear: Jewelry has surpassed bags and clothes as the most collectible investment. A string of new fine-jewelry boutiques have been popping up on Madison Avenue as the area is redefining itself as a shopping destination, only further cementing the neighborhood as a hub for jewelry shopping. London-based jeweler Jessica McCormack is one of the latest brands to open up a brick-and-mortar store in the area, reflecting the popularity of the brand in the area.
There is a subset of very specific jewelry designers that all of the most stylish people are wearing and coveting. In particular, there's a new wave of young designers who are defining what fine jewelry looks like today. Ahead, shop the fine-jewelry designers the fashion set is investing in or, at the very least, texting their friends about in group chats.
