LANA Jewelry

LANA Jewelry was founded in Chicago in 2002 by designer Lana Bramlette, who began with a search for great gold hoops. She became known as the Queen of Hoops, and the brand makes modern jewelry in solid 14k gold around a philosophy of less clothes, more jewelry. This edit gathers diamond tennis bracelets and necklaces, Blake chain chokers, huggies and flat hoops, butterfly pieces and initial necklaces, ending on 14K gold hoops and pendants.

The Statement Earring Edit

Statement earrings do more for an outfit than a new dress does once the holiday calendar fills up with the same few silhouettes. This edit moves from fine gold and pearl to crystal and resin, so the choice is less about matching and more about how much light you want catching near your face. The angle here is proportion: pick the scale and metal that suit the neckline you already own before adding anything else.

Dior Edit: Iconic Handbags and Jewelry Worth Knowing

Dior has shaped what a handbag can be since the house opened in 1946. This edit gathers the Dior bags people look for most, from Lady Dior to Saddle and Book Tote, along with Dior jewelry and a few shoes. Each piece is a different way into the house.

Van Cleef bracelet: Clover Motifs, Beads and Petals Across the Wrist

Van Cleef bracelet styles run from Alhambra clovers to Perlée cuffs and jeweled flowers. I would choose one by its scale, how it sits beside my watch, and the sleeve I reach for most.

Collar necklace: The Sculptural Shape Rose Byrne Wore to the Oscars

This collar necklace edit moves from gold collars and open torques to silver, sculptural, pearl, and beaded shapes. I would let one strong silhouette do the talking over a crewneck or an open neckline.

The Hardware Bangle: Gold Ovals, Screw Details and Nail Motifs

This edit gathers screw-detail bangles, slim oval bangles, stacking cuffs, nail rings and nail-shaped cuffs. I picked pieces with graphic metalwork and noted what to check for fit and finish.

Van Cleef Bracelet: Clover Motifs, Charms and the Shape of Gold

A Van Cleef bracelet can mean a clover chain, a tiny charm, or a gold bangle with more presence, so I sort this edit by mood and shape. I would check the clasp, hallmarks, serial number, and condition grade before deciding, because every piece here is a one-off.

Tiffany and Co.: Heart Tags, Bone Cuffs and the 1966 Key Tag Behind Them

Tiffany and Co. began its heart tag story as a 1966 key tag, and this edit sorts heart tags, Elsa Peretti shapes and HardWear, T and Lock pieces, new and pre-owned. I say when I would reach for each one and what to check in the clasp and hallmark.

The Modern Pearl Edit: Drops, Gold Links and Layered Necklaces

This edit gathers pearl drop earrings, pearl-and-chain necklaces, gold link earrings, barrettes and layered strands. I focused on pieces that make pearls feel easy to wear, with practical notes on fit, finish and layering.

Sculptural Gold Jewelry: Bold Links, Heart Charms and Fluid Cuffs

This edit gathers chunky gold links, heart charm bracelets, sculptural cuffs, link earrings and necklaces, and slim bangles. I would start with one bold link and build the stack from there.

The Beaded Clover: Four-Leaf Jewelry in Gold and Color

This edit gathers clover jewelry shaping the current mood, from station necklaces and bracelets to beaded-edge earrings, pendants and rings. Start with the finish you wear most, then choose a center stone and scale that feel right for you.

enewton Bracelets: Pearl Strands, Gold Beads and Stacks Built by Hand

This edit sorts enewton bracelets into pearl and bead stretch strands, 14kt gold-filled beads, and stacks and sets, starting from the cross necklace that began the brand. I say when I would reach for each one and what to check before you put it on.

Coin necklace: An Ancient Coin's Second Life

A coin necklace edit that moves from Late Roman medallions to the gold pendants in rotation this fall. I would keep the styling spare and let the little disk do its talking.

Pearl Drop Earrings

Freshwater, baroque and classic pearls that swing gently and soften every outfit.

Cartier Tank Solo: The Steel Take on Louis Cartier's 1917 Tank Watch

Our wishlist of Cartier tanks across steel, gold, Must, Francaise, Americaine, Louis and vintage. I would start with a steel Solo and work out from there.

Dior Necklace: Pre-Owned CD Pendants, Pearl Drops and Chokers

This Dior necklace edit is all pre-owned, and it sorts logo pendants, pearl pieces and chokers by how they wear. I say when I would reach for each one and what to check in the clasp and the stones.

Sculptural Gold Jewelry for Fall

Molten, hammered and pinched: sculptural gold earrings, ear cuffs, cuffs, bangles, necklaces and rings

Dinner Jewelry Is Not Day Jewelry

Candlelight shows outline and reflection, not detail, so small fine pieces disappear. Eight earrings, eight necklaces and eight cuffs chosen for low light.

Object Pendants and Charm Necklaces for Fall

Pendant necklaces are getting more personal, with charms, shells, beads and small objects hung on cords and chains. This edit gathers pendants with a story, charms and beads, and longer chains, plus the simple clothes that show them off. Each one is a small way to wear something that means something.

Designer Brooches and Pins

The pin is back on the lapel

Gifts for Jewelry Lovers

Gifts for jewelry lovers should add something new to a jewelry box that is already well stocked. This edit covers five pieces a collector reaches for again and again: a single stone drop earring, a tennis necklace, a sculptural cuff, a knotted gold earring and a ring with a honey yellow stone. It runs from fine jewelers like Engelbert and Adina Reyter to fashion pieces from Jenny Bird and Heaven Mayhem.

Gold Cuffs & Chunky Bracelets

Heavy, sculptural pieces for bare wrists

Brown Is Doing All The Work

Brown spent decades as the colour nobody chose, filed somewhere between safe and dowdy. It has become the season's organising principle, absorbing everything black used to do while reading warmer and less severe. This edit follows what happens when an entire wardrobe commits to one temperature.

Sculptural Silver Jewelry for Fall

Sculptural silver earrings, cuffs, bracelets, necklaces and rings, from Sophie Buhai and Khaite to Jenny Bird under $150, with notes on wearing silver with fall colors.
