The Luxist Top Ten Under the Radar Jewelry Designers for the Holidays 2010

Giving jewelry as gifts for the holidays is something we highly encourage at Luxist. We love all that sparkles. One of our favorite regular features is jewelry design -- we love to showcase the up-and-comers who aren't yet as famous as, say, Tiffany and Harry Winston. Still, finding the right designer with the right price range for you can be difficult, as there's a sea of new designers every year to sift through. Here's our guide to the best of the best under-the-radar jewelry designers whose collections we recommend for the 2010 holidays. Each designer has fresh, enchanting pieces with that timeless je ne sais qoui which will last a lifetime.

The Luxist Top Ten Up and Coming Jewelry Designers for the Holidays 2010

1. Anna Hu (above)

We covered Anna Hu in January after meeting her in her Plaza boutique (Anna Hu, Custom Jeweler to the Lucky). It was one of our most exciting interviews of the year as we learned about her history as a cello prodigy and her penchant for lucky symbols and numbers. Anna Hu makes breathtaking custom pieces you should seek out either at The Plaza Hotel or in Tainan, Taiwan. A few select pieces are available online from Kabiri in the UK.

Slane and Slane Six Strand Pearl Necklace

Slane & Slane makes beautiful, elegant jewelry which adds instant grace and sophistication to almost any outfit.

The Six Strand Pearl Necklace at right is currently a bestseller on NeimanMarcus.com -- and it isn't hard to see why. The natural cultured Chinese freshwater pearls are exquisitely interlaced with the varying silver chains, creating an opulent, modern look. The edginess of the chains makes the piece youthful, and the perfectly imperfect pearls make it beautiful. You can purchase one for just $950, which is surprisingly reasonable for pearls of this standard and design of this caliber.

Below are images of some of our favorites from Slane & Slane's latest collection. Keep them in mind for your next special occasion -- we especially recommend the cufflinks for men!
