From blockbuster brands Mejuri and Missoma to lesser-known names we see big things for, here's your ultimate guide to all that glitters...

There’s a lot of stuff out there, and not all fashion pieces are created equal. Luckily, the ELLE editors know their way around a shopping rail, and when it comes to helping you find those niche brands worth knowing to high-street hits of quality, and a few vintage treasures too, our ELLE Edits showcase the very best of the season.

Whether as a gift to a loved one, or for yourself (a self-gift, if you will), jewellery is unbeaten in its premium status. Often imbued with deep sentiment, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings and so on are true investment pieces that can be passed down through generations due to their long-lasting materials and value.

Indeed, if chosen wisely, the value of a beautifully crafted piece of jewellery can appreciate significantly over time – and who wouldn't want their pension in their jewellery box?

Having said that, not every jewellery purchase you make needs to be an heirloom-worthy investment. A large part of its appeal is the fun involved in mixing, matching and experimenting with new styles, safe in the knowledge that they will always add that glittering finishing touch to even the dullest of outfits.

Luckily, the market for more affordable, trend-led jewellery has blossomed in recent years, ensuring you have access to beautiful and luxurious-looking pieces that will make your ensemble sparkle, no matter your budget or taste.

For timeless 'forever' jewellery in gold, silver and platinum and featuring precious gemstones like diamonds, Tiffany & Co., Boucheron, Bulgari, De Beers and Cartier will never fail you. If you prefer more experimental designs, look to Anissa Kermiche, Mateo, TOHUM and Alighieri. For staples to stack to your heart's content, Mejuri, Monica Vinader, Missoma, Astrid & Miyu and Edge of Ember are names to remember. And for those who put a premium on fun, try Margaux Studios, Wald Berlin, Sandralexandra and Roxanne First.

But that's not all: we have collated many more of our favourite jewellery brands right here – 72, to be exact – for you to take a look through and shop to your heart's content.

A jewellery brand that really needs no introduction, Missoma is the home of accessibly priced, stackable pieces. Seriously though: everyone from Kate Middleton to Kendall Jenner and Selena Gomez has been spotted in its designs. Pieces from the brand's ultra-popular collaborations with Lucy Williams and Harris Reed are veritable must-haves, but we're also big fans of the new tennis collection in both diamond and cubic zirconia iterations.

SHOP MISSOMA

If you came of age in the Noughties, chances are you'll already be very well-acquainted with this iconic jewellery brand. But while you may recognise a Pandora bracelet charm by the sound of its jangling, what you may not know is that the Danish favourite is currently in the midst of a super-luxe glow-up.

Think ultra-premium pieces featuring lab-grown diamonds and freshwater pearls, collections with a more minimalist, nature-inspired aesthetic, and a new slew of high-profile fans including Pamela Anderson, Precious Lee and about half the London Fashion Week crowd. Turns out, Pandora offers much more than just teenage nostalgia.

SHOP PANDORA

Mejuri counts the Duchess of Cambridge, Selena Gomez, Bella Hadid and Billie Eilish as fans – which tells you everything you need to know about how versatile its pieces are. The 'everyday' fine jewellery brand champions sustainability; always working with traceable or recycled silver and gold, as well as sustainably-sourced diamonds. ELLE's favourites? The cult Croissant Dôme hoops and the Wishbone stacking rings.

Art Deco extravagance is on the cards at V By Laura Vann, a brand acclaimed for making vintage-style shapes an accessible proposition.

The brand describes itself as 'anti-trend', and a quick glance at its exquisite antique-inflected designs showcases just why. Chunky rings and intricate earrings could have been plucked from a previous decade – perhaps, they'll become pieces you'll pass down the generations.

Founded by London-based sisters Christie and Rosanna Wollenberg in 2016, Otiumberg is a fashion insider favourite for chic, minimalist jewellery that's as timeless as it is cool. Think classic chain necklaces, everyday hoops and stackable rings, as well as edgy ear cuffs and tiny diamond-studded initial tag pendants. The brand has just opened its debut flagship store in Holland Park, so you can now go and try everything on IRL. We challenge you to try and leave empty-handed.

Everything is made from recycled metals, and most recently, the brand collaborated with Mother of Pearl founder Amy Powney to create a sustainably driven collection inspired by nature.
