Famous 24K Gold Jewelry Designers
1. Cartier
Founded in 1847 in Paris, Cartier is synonymous with timeless elegance and craftsmanship. While most of their collections use 18k gold for durability, Cartier has also produced pieces in pure 24k gold, especially in limited edition collections and in their high jewelry (“Haute Joaillerie”) lines. Their bold design language—seen in pieces like the Love Bracelet and Panthère—has global acclaim.
2. Tiffany & Co.
The iconic American jeweler, Tiffany & Co., established in 1837, is known for exceptional quality and design. While their signature use is primarily 18k and sterling silver, Tiffany has created bespoke and collector’s items in 24k gold, especially in heritage or private commission lines. Their clean, sophisticated style appeals to classic luxury lovers.
3. Van Cleef & Arpels
A French maison famed for its poetic and whimsical designs, Van Cleef & Arpels occasionally uses 24k gold in its exclusive collections, although most standard lines feature 18k gold. Their Alhambra collection and high-jewelry pieces reflect a delicate, nature-inspired elegance, often accented with exceptional gemstones and enamel work.
Other Notable Mentions:
- Buccellati (Italy): Known for intricate hand-engraving and antique-style 24k gold jewelry.
- Bvlgari (Italy): Bold and architectural designs, occasionally in 24k for high-end clients.
- Chopard (Switzerland): Sustainable 24k “Fairmined” gold is part of their ethical luxury approach.
Note:
While 24k gold is the purest form, it’s also the softest. For daily-wear jewelry, top designers often use 18k gold for its balance of purity and durability—but 24k is prized in high jewelry, investment pieces, and cultural designs, especially in the Middle East and Asia.
