What Makes Expensive Jewellery Brands So Special?

May 27, 2023

Jewellery has long been looked at as a symbol of class, elegance, fashion, self-expression, and sentiment. Whether you are sporting a bold piece as a fashion statement, a delicate necklace as an accentuating complement to your neckline, or an engagement ring and wedding band to honour your love and commitment to your partner, jewellery holds a special place in our minds and hearts. 

When it comes to custom-made jewellery in Australia and finding the best jewellery material for your custom-made pieces, the more expensive brands are frequently associated with luxury. While price does not always guarantee quality, expensive jewellery brands are indeed synonymous with luxury, quality, and exclusivity. 

So, what exactly makes certain brands of expensive jewellery so special? Let’s review a few factors to keep in mind as you shop around for your dream custom-made piece.

 

Quality in Materials

The quality of the materials used in the design of a custom piece contributes significantly to its overall value. For example, a piece of jewellery made from pure, eighteen-carat gold or embellished with the highest quality diamonds will inevitably be higher in quality and value. With diamonds, the clarity, cut, and carat weight can determine how appealing they are to the human eye.

Reputable brands use the highest quality materials available to them, including precious metals like gold, platinum, and silver. Brands like Holloway Diamonds also offer precious gemstones—such as diamonds, emeralds, and rubies—in their jewellery pieces. Incredibly rare and limited in supply, these materials are highly treasured, sought-after, durable, and valuable. 

When it comes to luxury brands, the methods they use to source their materials are also something that is taken very seriously. Luxury brands take pride in pursuing ethical methods and remain committed to responsibly sourcing their precious materials, metals, gemstones, and diamonds. In the same way that quality should not be sacrificed, neither should the commitment to ethics and eco-friendly practices.

 

Quality in Craftsmanship 

The craftsmanship behind a custom-made piece is incredibly important. Skilled jewellers spend days fine-tuning, designing, and creating incredibly thought-out, beautiful, and captivating pieces. Luxury brands have no room for errors and pay incredible attention to details. 

It is this type of approach and quality that stands behind some of the most sophisticated pieces of jewellery. By prioritising detail and paying close attention to the precision needed to ensure high quality, each piece is guaranteed to be unique and meticulously crafted to ensure its longevity, appeal, and value over time. 

 

Quality in Brand Exclusivity 

While fast fashion often comes with the risk of knowing that on any given day you might spot someone across the street wearing the same outfit as you, fine jewellery does not have this problem.

Custom-made pieces are custom for a reason—they ensure their uniqueness, exclusivity, and sentimental value. Luxury brands often produce jewellery pieces in limited quantities so that each design retains its sentimental, unique value.
