Nancy Newberg’s New Collection is for Brides
The designer has unveiled an entire range dedicated to jewelry for wedding festivities.
The “Modern Diamond Tennis Necklace” is part of Nancy Newberg’s new bridal jewelry collection. Rendered in 18-karat yellow gold with 5.74 carats of diamonds, it’s priced at $19,000.
Los Angeles—For jewelry designers, crafting pieces for their loved ones’ big occasions comes with the career territory.
In Nancy Newberg’s case, one such incident inspired a new collection.
The Los Angeles-based designer’s son was married last year. Rather than send her future daughter-in-law to shop for jewelry to wear on her big day, Newberg personally crafted a selection of pieces for her.
Newberg was no stranger to the task, having offered bespoke bridal jewelry to clients for over a decade, designing wedding bands, engagement rings and pieces for brides to wear during packed itineraries of events over multi-day wedding affairs.
“I’ve always loved the process,” Newberg said of wedding-related custom design projects.
“There is nothing more special than bringing a bit of sparkle and joy to the most memorable day in someone’s life.”

These diamond drop earrings come in several lengths, up to “extra-long.” These are the “Long Diamond Drops” in platinum with 2 carats of diamonds ($11,200).
The “Modern Tennis Bracelet” in 18-karat yellow gold with 2.5 carats of diamonds ($11,500)
“Flower Earrings” in 14-karat white gold with diamonds and pearls ($4,000)
“Tiny Diamond Drops” in 14-karat yellow gold with princess-cut diamonds ($2,400)
“Bendable Band” in platinum with 0.72 carats of round diamonds ($3,400)
“Wide Prong Set Diamond Band” in 14-karat yellow gold with emerald- and round-shaped diamonds totaling 0.85 carats ($2,800)
Designing jewelry for a wedding in her own family was even more meaningful.
The resulting collection showcases bezel-set diamonds, often mixing different shapes, such as long drop earrings with round-, princess-, and emerald-cut diamonds.
In addition to several drop earring variations, there are tennis necklaces, tennis bracelets, and eternity rings mixing diamond shapes, creating a more modern and clean interpretation of fine jewelry basics.
There is also a pair of diamond and pearl floral earrings that would perfectly suit the classic, romantic bride as well as chunky mixed metal cigar bands with a heart or chain motif.
The collection is crafted in platinum, 18-karat gold, and 14-karat gold with diamonds and pearls.
Available now on the designer’s website, the range sells for $2,400-$19,000.
