Renowned jewelry designer Emily P. Wheeler has launched an exquisite collection that seamlessly blends the past with the present. This captivating lineup features both reworked vintage pieces and a curated selection of signed heritage jewels from iconic houses like Chopard, Tiffany & Co., Bulgari, and Hemmerle.
Over the past decade, Wheeler has meticulously sourced rare vintage pieces from the 1960s to the 1980s. Standout items include Chopard’s iconic Happy Heart drop earrings, Tiffany & Co.’s chunky gold earrings from the ’80s, and Bulgari’s stunning 1970s necklaces.
Additionally, Wheeler has transformed unsigned vintage jewels into modern masterpieces, such as resetting antique Euro-cut diamonds into Victorian-style collets with vibrant lacquer finishes and crafting a pearl choker from vintage strands and heart pendants.
“I love mixing old with new, which reflects my personal style and brand ethos,” Wheeler noted. “This collection is a natural extension of my passion for vintage, and it aligns perfectly with my commitment to sustainability. By reworking vintage pieces, I’m not only giving them new life but also practicing a form of jewelry upcycling.”
Wheeler’s dedication to ethical practices is evident in her use of single-mine-origin gold and recycled precious metals. The collection is available online at Bergdorf Goodman and Emily P. Wheeler’s website, with signed vintage pieces available at her Los Angeles showroom. This launch coincides with a growing demand for vintage jewelry, particularly among celebrities on the red carpet.
