With so many of us wanting to invest in jewellery these days, it’s easy to get caught up into the hype and only buy from well-known brands. I wanted to shed some light on some black-owned designers who have stunning diamond and gold offerings that will be the perfect pieces in your jewellery collections.

Concept 26 is a sustainably made fine jeweller that has everything from diamond tennis bracelets to gold hoop earrings and matching necklaces.

Their fresh take on fine jewellery really ties into everything IALH stands for due to its wearability factor. Their popular puzzle collection features a diamond-encrusted puzzle pendant, that is a great gift idea for yourself and a loved one binding you together by way of fashionable diamonds!

“I came across Mateo NY randomly whilst shopping on Matches Fashion but it’s been one of my best finds since. The pieces are as classic and fashion-oriented as their creator, and they’re the perfect jewels to add to your collection.

“Their initials jewellery are their most popular pieces (selling out in minutes) and they also have beautiful diamond and gemstone offerings too. The price point is GREAT for what you get too, making it a no brainer.

I remember going to the VanLeles Diamonds boutique in Mayfair when I was just starting out this fashion blogging thing, and the owner Vania was so gracious and took so much time explaining the whole collection to me.

Her jewellery is breathtaking for lack of better words. If you’re looking for statement pieces this is the fine jeweller to go to. They also have some more everyday pieces such as these beautiful gold hoop earrings. I love the fresh take they’ve used in designing them making them that extra bit more special than what is usually on offer.

“Aurelia & Pierre’s collection features some of the most attractive pieces perfect for stacking or wearing alone such as their circular diamond tennis bracelet, and colourful, fancy cut, cocktail rings.
