Jennifer Meyer Jewellery: The Complete Guide to the LA Fine Jeweller

Jennifer Meyer jewelry is fine gold and diamond jewellery designed in Los Angeles, made to be worn every day, and Coveti now stocks 1,275 pieces from the line. Start at the Jennifer Meyer brand hub, browse the full range of fine jewellery, and note that a small piece such as the Mini Clover Necklace is around $1,280 at Coveti.

Who is Jennifer Meyer? Jennifer Meyer is a Los Angeles fine jeweller who founded her eponymous line in 2005, after working in communications for Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani. She designs every piece, and master artisans in Los Angeles handcraft each one, mostly in 18 carat gold with natural diamonds and coloured stones.

What is Jennifer Meyer known for?

The label is known for gold jewellery that feels personal and wearable rather than precious and kept in a drawer. Small charms, polished hoops, open link chains and stone inlay are the shapes people recognise first. The brand’s own stated aim is jewellery that feels personal and enduring, pieces women never want to take off, and that goal explains most of the design decisions: light weights, secure clasps, motifs with a meaning attached.

It also helps to know what the line is not. It is not a bridal house built around one large solitaire, and it is not costume jewellery in gold colour. It is fine jewellery in real gold, priced as fine jewellery, with a bias towards small, layerable designs. Most people begin with one charm and add to it over years.

How did Jennifer Meyer start her jewellery line?

Meyer came to jewellery from communications. Before launching her own label she worked for Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani, two houses that sell a clear point of view rather than a single product. In 2005 she founded her eponymous fine jewellery line in Los Angeles, and the city has stayed central to the business ever since.

That background shows. The collections are edited tightly, the names carry stories, and the pieces are built to be styled with plain clothes: a white shirt, a grey knit, a pair of jeans. Nothing in the range depends on a particular outfit to make sense.

Is Jennifer Meyer jewellery made in Los Angeles?

Yes. Every piece is designed by Jennifer Meyer and handcrafted from fine materials by master artisans in Los Angeles, and “Made in Los Angeles” appears on every product. Coveti lists the country of origin as the United States. Local manufacture matters in fine jewellery because it keeps design and workshop close together, which suits small, detailed pieces such as hinged huggies and inlay hearts.

What awards has Jennifer Meyer won?

The recognition came early and from several directions. In 2012 she was runner-up in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. In 2013 she was nominated for the CFDA Swarovski Award for Accessories Design. In 2016 she won the Daily Front Row Fashion Los Angeles Award for Best Jewelry Designer. Three honours across five years placed a young label alongside established names in American accessories.

What are the signature Jennifer Meyer collections?

The catalogue is organised by named lines, and learning them is the quickest way to shop. Coveti’s counts, by line, are: Mini Charms 201 pieces, Tennis 148, Inlay 113, Evil Eye 78, Edith 75, Leaf 34, Hammered 28, Ellen 22, Double Dome 20 and Good Luck 13. Smaller families include Carson and Lovebird.

Ellen, the best-seller

Ellen is the best-selling line, named for Jennifer’s mother. It is flat, polished gold: hoops in mini, small, medium and large, plus a band, a cuff and plate necklaces. The Mini Ellen Hoops measures 12mm across and is around $3,480 at Coveti, while the Large Ellen Hoops is 55mm and is around $14,800. Our guide to Jennifer Meyer earrings goes through every hoop size.

Edith, the open link chain

Edith is named for Jennifer’s grandmother and is built from open links in small, medium and large scales. The Small Edith Link Necklace sits at around $5,910 at Coveti, and the same link appears on bracelets, studs and an anklet. The Jennifer Meyer necklaces guide explains how the scales compare.

Inlay and Evil Eye

Inlay means polished stone, turquoise, lapis, opal, onyx and mother of pearl, set flush into gold so the surface stays smooth. The Mini Turquoise Inlay Heart Necklace is a good example at around $3,450. The evil eye is a house signature in gold, diamonds and stones, and there is a “70s” evil eye family inspired by the brand’s 70s collection. The Mini Evil Eye Necklace starts the range at around $1,500.

Tennis, Leaf, Double Dome and Good Luck

Tennis pieces come in 3-prong, 4-prong, bezel and illusion settings, set with diamonds and with coloured stones. Leaf is a solid gold motif, often finished with pave diamonds. Double Dome takes its name from the Double Dome Ring, a house classic. Good Luck is a signature engraved gold medallion, and the Open Good Luck Necklace is around $5,180 at Coveti. Carson is named for Jennifer’s sister, and Lovebird was inspired by her own love story and wedding.

What materials does Jennifer Meyer use?

Most pieces are 18 carat gold. At the source, most styles are offered in yellow, white and rose gold, and Coveti stocks the colour shown in each photograph, which is overwhelmingly 18K yellow gold. Some fine chains are 14 carat. If you are weighing finishes, our white gold, yellow gold and rose gold comparison covers the practical differences.

Diamonds are natural, and many listings state natural and ethically sourced stones. On tennis pieces the stated grade is diamond colour G-H with clarity SI1-SI2. The colour palette beyond white diamonds is wide: turquoise, lapis, emerald, blue and pink sapphire, ruby, opal, onyx, mother of pearl, amethyst, aquamarine, morganite, tourmaline and malachite all appear in the range.

How much does Jennifer Meyer jewellery cost?

Prices at Coveti run across a wide band, so it helps to know where each category starts. Earrings range from $400 to $40,530 with a median of $3,850 across 491 pieces. Necklaces run from $1,280 to $110,350 with a median of $6,240 across 452. Rings range from $620 to $29,430 with a median of $5,545 across 178, and bracelets from $1,280 to $40,530 with a median of $6,790 across 153.

The low end is a single stud, a mini charm necklace, a stackable ring. The high end is diamond tennis work with several carats of stones. Between the two sits the largest group: gold pieces with a few small diamonds, priced for a considered purchase rather than an impulse one.

How do you choose your first Jennifer Meyer piece?

Pick the item you will wear without thinking. For most people that is one of four things: a necklace, a pair of hoops, a ring, a bracelet. Decide which sits closest to your skin every day, then choose the smallest, simplest version.

• A necklace. The Mini Heart Necklace is on a 16 inch chain and is around $1,280 at Coveti. If you want a word, the Honey Necklace is around $2,310.
• Earrings. Mini Ellen hoops are the line’s entry point, and a single cartilage hoop such as the Single Cartilage Hoop is around $840. The hoop earrings page lists every size.
• A ring. The Mini Leaf Ring is around $840 and is made in US size 6.5. See the ring size chart before you buy.
• A bracelet. The Mini Hamsa Bracelet is around $1,350 and the Small Edith Link Bracelet is around $2,640. Browse fine bracelets for more.

Ask a simple question first: what do you already wear? If you live in gold hoops, add a necklace. If your neck is bare, start there. The gift angle matters too, and our Jennifer Meyer gift guide sorts pieces by occasion and budget.

How do you wear and layer Jennifer Meyer jewellery?

Think in scale. Pair one fine piece with something chunkier, so the delicate gold has room to show. A mini charm on a 16 inch chain looks sharper beside a longer pendant on 18 inches, because the two sit at different heights on the collarbone. On the ear, a small hoop with a diamond stud above it makes a quiet stack.

Rings follow the same logic. Our stackable rings guide covers how thin bands and stone rings sit together, and the dedicated Jennifer Meyer rings guide is the place to start for sizing. Bracelet wearers can read the Jennifer Meyer bracelets guide for tennis bracelet and watch pairing.

Because most designs are small and pale gold, they travel well between daytime and evening. Nothing needs to come off for the gym, and nothing looks out of place with a dress. That ease is a large part of why people end up wearing the same few pieces for years.

How does Jennifer Meyer compare with other fine jewellers?

The nearest comparisons are brands that also work in small, wearable fine pieces. Messika is a Paris diamond house founded in 2005, the same year as Jennifer Meyer, with a sharper diamond focus. Suzanne Kalan is known for baguette-cut gemstones, and David Yurman is known for cable bracelets. If you are cross-shopping, our list of brands like Jennifer Meyer sets them side by side.

What separates Jennifer Meyer is the combination of motifs with meaning, polished stone inlay and a very approachable entry price. It is rare to find solid gold with real diamonds from a recognised label for under $1,500, and this line does that repeatedly.

Where can you buy Jennifer Meyer jewellery?
