Hammerman Brothers Jewelry: 75 Years of Creative Designs



The Hammerman empire was founded about 75 years ago. This family-run business distinguishes itself from the competition with its intricate production means that result in the creation of breathtakingly beautiful jewelry pieces.  

Currently, there are eight Hammerman Brothers collections.

Classic. The line of classic jewelry is famous for its crisp lines and the play of yellow gold on platinum. Gems used in the pieces include diamonds and emeralds. The Ying Yang ring in particular is a showstopper. Made in part of yellow and in part of white gold, its opposites are sure to attract plenty of attention.

Hammerman Sport. Even though the sporty name conjures up images of tennis bracelets, these pieces are actually far more intricate. Suitable for relaxed wear, gypsy earrings feature diamonds set in 18-karat gold. Diamond globes offer beauty in platinum settings. The cabochon of color ring showcases a startling carnelian with a diamond shell.

Haute Joaillerie. Clear spheres and unbroken circles hold as much appeal as necklaces featuring three strands. This is the type of jewelry you would wear for a lavish night out. A regal emblem fashioned from yellow gold and diamonds vies for attention. A free form platinum setting features an array of diamonds that imitates small leafs.

Les Boules. The bulbous ends of these pieces are attractive counterpoints to the elegant lengths of necklaces that hold them. White gold connects pink sapphires and diamonds in petite les boules chains. Earrings feature green sapphires and the now well-known yellow and white gold mix.

Royal Ascot. This line of jewelry is for the man who enjoys formal wear and the quintessential cufflink. Masculine designs have characteristically strong shapes that are more elegant than whimsical.

Royal Pave. The pave tradition is a classic among jewelers. Hammerman brings out the beauty in turquoise, onyx and diamonds with this line of pieces. Rubies set in blackened white gold are beautiful examples of the power this presentation brings to the table.

Tavannes. Petal and flower shapes inspire the pieces that fall under this heading. Each carefully crafted and connected, these pieces bespeak the old traditions of jewelry-making when intricate workmanship was a sign of high skill and much sought after by the buyers in the know.

H2 at Hammerman. This collection bills itself as being “what women want.” Mixes of the stylish and the wearable, these pieces fall into seven separate collections. Colors are muted and the jewels belong into the category of casual comfort. Mind you, this type of comfort does not mean that the artisans are skimping on the settings or the gems. Instead, look for 18-karat gold and cognac citrine, blue topaz and faceted onyx. These pieces are big on gemstones but not necessarily diamonds.

Of course, Hammerman Brothers also works on commissioned and unique customer designs. Then again, with so many gorgeous jewels to choose from, who needs to dream up their own pieces?
