Discover moreThe Margery Hirschey collection incorporates ancient style and techniques with a modern sensibility. Through an artistic eye for colour pairings and the use of thoughtful asymmetry, the natural beauty of the materials is able to truly shine. The collection's innovative approach strives to take jewellery design beyond the confines of what is considered, "fine jewellery" to create beautiful, unique pieces which stand the test of time without conforming to traditional standards.
Trained as a fine artist, and having studied couture dressmaking with the late New York couturier Charles Kliebacker, Margery Hirschey brings together her talents to create exquisite, one-of-a-kind pieces, entirely handcrafted in 100% recycled 22k and 18k gold, sterling silver and precious gemstones. Each piece is a work of art inspired by ancient goldsmithing, but with a sensibility aimed at today's very modern woman.
Hirschey launched her jewellery line in 2008. Her first pieces caught the eye of a buyer at Bergdorf Goodman, who encouraged her to create a full line. With virtually no experience in the business, in a makeshift studio, Hirschey created a stunning and sophisticated collection, which debuted at a trunk show in the Designer Jewellery Salon at Bergdorf's in the Fall of 2008. Since that time, Hirschey's work has graced several red carpets and has been featured in the internationally acclaimed 2012 book, "The New Jewelers" by Olivier Dupon. In January 2014, Hirschey received the 17th Annual Fashion Group International Rising Star Award for Fine Jewellery.
