Oscar Heyman has been designing and engineering heirloom-worthy pieces of opulent jewelry for over five generations of American royalty (the firm celebrated its hundredth anniversary a few years ago). Credited as Elizabeth Taylor’s go-to jeweler, Oscar Heyman is where even the best jewelers – think Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Tiffany & Co. and Harry Winston – turn to when a custom project is too delicate for anyone else to design. Crafting every stunning piece in their atelier in NYC, the firm remains a family run business since 1912. Perhaps the most shocking thing when surveying Oscar Heyman’s collections is the realization that none of it is costume-ware; every piece is just that exquisite.
