Anna Sheffield

Six years after starting her eponymous jewelry collection (plus a bridal line that launched in 2011), this NYC designer opens her first store. The interiors reflect the New Mexico–born artist’s love of geometry with herringbone-patterned hardwood floors, recalling the wheat-sheaf motifs often seen in her work. Sheffield also subtly incorporates design elements from the Southwest’s landscape and Native American artisan culture into her fine jewelry ($135–$25,000), and bridal and commitment collections ($500–$25,000). While they’re investment pieces, each item is handcrafted with conflict-free and vintage diamonds and gems, including Victorian-inspired serpent rings ($2,750), stud earrings with beams of inverted black diamonds ($675) and gold double rings connected by a pavé vertical bar ($1,695), meant to mimic horse harnesses.
