If you love to accessorize with jewelry but don’t love the cheap stuff and can’t afford the really expensive stuff, let me introduce you to one of fashion’s best-kept secrets: Dean Davidson jewelry. The Toronto-based designer has quietly become a go-to for Hollywood stylists, royals and fashion insiders who want statement pieces that look far more expensive than they actually are. Truth be told, I’m kind of obsessed.
From sculptural gold rings to gemstone earrings that catch the light just right, the brand has built a loyal following thanks to its bold yet timeless aesthetic. And plenty of celebrities are wearing some of the brand’s most beautiful pieces.
Here’s everything you should know about the brand, plus the famous faces who can’t get enough of it.
What makes Dean Davidson jewelry special?
Founded in Toronto (my hometown!), the brand is known for clean architectural lines, luminous semi-precious stones and high-quality craftsmanship. Every piece is designed to be versatile, the kind of jewelry you can wear daily but that still feels polished enough for a red carpet.
Davidson’s designs lean sculptural: think fluid shapes, luminous stones and bold silhouettes. The brand is also known for its glowing semi-precious stones, particularly rainbow moonstone (my fave!) and green amethyst, which are cut to maximize light and dimension. Combined with substantial gold or rhodium-plated finishes, the jewelry has a really satisfying weight and polish that reads far more luxurious than its price point suggests. It’s this balance of modern design, thoughtful craftsmanship and accessible pricing that keeps stylists and fashion insiders coming back — and explains why the pieces show up everywhere from red carpets to royal wardrobes.
