Emerging Jewelry Designers on eBay

Discover five emerging jewelry designers that can be found on eBay…often for a fraction of what you’d pay in the store.

 

Fenton/Fallon for J Crew

Why it’s hot: Designer Dana Lorenz created a capsule collection of her avant garde, tangled, mixed metal pieces (normally reserved for cutting-edge stores like Barneys and Henri Bendel) for the notoriously preppy J Crew, catapulting the mass retailer to a new level of cool, while also making her edgy designs more accessible.

Find it on eBay: NEW J Crew Fenton Fallon Carrington Chain Needle Necklace (starting bid, $0.99); NEW J Crew Fenton Fallon Carrington Chain Bracelet (buy it now price, $149.99)

 

M.C.L. by Matthew Campbell Laurenza

Why it’s hot: Because fine jewelry doesn’t have to look like it belongs draped across the bodies of the country club set. Celebs like "Twilight"’s Ashley Greene love the rich bohemian look of the Kentucky-born designer’s pieces. His use of brightly colored enamel lends a multicultural and fashion-forward bent to this fine jewelry collection.

Find it on eBay: NEW Matthew Campbell Laurenza Sapphire Enamel Rhodium Cuff (buy it now price, $877.50); Matthew Campbell Laurenza Enamel Sapphires Ring (buy it now price, $379)

 

Carrera y Carrera

Why it’s hot: Though the painstakingly detailed collection has been sought-after in Spain for some time, it’s just starting to gain momentum in the US. Celebs like Maggie Grace and Jessica Lucas have taken a shine to the beautifully handcrafted fine jewelry collection that draws upon the magnificence of nature. Peacock feathers, sunbursts and flora and fauna inspire delicate pave diamond encrusted pieces dotted with brilliant precious and semi-precious stones.

Find it on eBay: NEW Carrera y Carrera Tourmaline & 18K Gold Ring (buy it now price, $1,259); Carrera y Carrera 18K Gold Diamond Tahitian Pearl Ring (starting bid, $999)

 

Dannijo

Why it’s hot: Designed and handmade by sisters Danielle and Jodi Snyder, the indie label is right for any girl with a downtown sensibility. Contradiction is key. To wit, rock ‘n roll, mixed metal elements are juxtaposed with feminine crystals and pearls. And standing out is of utmost importance. Megawatt statement pieces, like the necklace below, can be thrown on with jeans-and-a-tee for an instant outfit update.

Find it on eBay: NEW Dannijo Eula Beaded Electric Blue Necklace (buy it now price, $119.20); Dannijo Grace Cuff Bracelet (starting bid, $99.99)

 

Yvel

Why it’s hot: Because the Jerusalem-based husband and wife design team are making pearls cool again. Using some of the world’s finest South Sea and Tahitian pearls set with micro-pave diamonds, Isaac and Orna Levy (Yvel is Levy spelled backwards) create pieces that trendsetters like Rhianna and Rachel Bilson have rocked—making it clear that these are not your standard Audrey Hepburn pearls.

Find it on eBay: NEW Yvel Baroque South Sea Pearl & 18k. Nugget Necklace (buy it now price, $5,000); NEW Yvel Biwa Coin Pearl Bracelet Yellow Gold (buy it now price, $420)
