Influenced by art from the Renaissance and antique treasures, Jillian Abboud Fine Jewelry is designed and handcrafted in New York City. Her eponymous collection is a unique and broad range of luxury fine jewelry from made-to-order to timeless classics and signature pieces. Launched in early 2016, the collection began with her signature swivel pinky ring featuring diamond and personalized engraving in 18kt gold. Fascination with the charm of unusually shaped gemstones and jewelry motifs of the past is at the core of her designs. Abboud was raised in Connecticut and received her BA in Art History from Duke University. A senior thesis on northern Italian Renaissance portraiture complete with a chapter dedicated to rings was surely a case of foreshadowing.
