When you check out the “About” section of Norman Silverman’s website, a large, succinctly worded quote dominates the page; written in all caps, it declares: “Let the diamonds do the talking.” There could be no better summary of Norman Silverman’s approach to jewelry than this. Established in 1983 by Norman Silverman, this Los Angeles jeweler has generally steered clear of interviews, press releases, and other interactions with the press or public that focus on anything but the art and craftsmanship of diamond jewelry design. With its founder sparingly described as a former apprentice cutter who discovered a passion for rare and unusual gems, even the most detailed accounts of the brand’s founding emphasize the diamonds above all else. Norman Silverman the man remains an enigma. Instead, we learn about Norman Silverman the designer—the careful creative with an impeccable eye for color, who sees each gem and its full potential in a single glance, already meticulously planning its future as an impossibly beautiful piece of jewelry. This uncannily brilliant ability to visualize each Norman Silverman treasure before it has even been cut is reminiscent of the great minds of fiction, like Sherlock Holmes. You might even consider Norman Silverman a detective of design, a flaneur who possesses the singular ability to craft incomparable jewelry in his mind’s eye. As a result of this grand mythos, each Norman Silverman piece—which is already set apart from the pack by its distinctive, almost-reverent approach to diamond design—is endowed with a special kind of magic.
Stories are forged in diamonds ranging from flawless white diamond baguettes to brilliant fancy color diamond pears, set in luxurious platinum, 18k yellow gold, 18k white gold, or 18k rose gold. Traditional jewelry design meets modernist principles in Norman Silverman jewelry, as classic settings, cuts, and designs are refreshed and rejuvenated, empowered to each tell their own narrative. You can see the chapters of Norman Silverman’s story unfold with each one-of-a-kind treasure the brand rolls out, and the story continues on the red carpet, on catwalks, on everyday outings, or on romantic dinners for two. Unencumbered by the expectations of a detailed backstory or a cultivated celebrity personality, Norman Silverman pieces really do get to express their truth completely. And when these magnificent jewelry designs are finally allowed to speak for themselves, they leave the wearer utterly speechless.
Norman Silverman necklaces
Perhaps one of the most appealing aspects of Norman Silverman’s designs is the sheer variety of options they offer. Whether you want to feel red carpet ready or simple and sophisticated, this diamond jeweler has a necklace for you. Emulate old Hollywood beauty with an absolutely spectacular diamond choker like the Norman Silverman East West Oval Diamond Necklace. Showcasing an impressive 30.27 ctw of fabulous oval-cut diamonds, this platinum necklace is the very definition of a “statement piece”. If you listen closely, you can hear the jazz bands of Golden Age clubs and whispers of an era of style and glamor long since passed. This diamond choker has all the spirit and winsomeness of a classic Hollywood starlet, enchanted by the bright lights of the big city; it is elegant, sophisticated, and brimming with hope and youthfulness—just like you.
It is, however, definitely designed for high-profile events. You can absolutely rock this glitzy diamond necklace to brunch if you want, Queen Bee, but, if you’re looking for a more understated, everyday look, Norman Silverman also designs breezy, feminine pieces like the Norman Silverman Bezel-Set Diamond Dangle Necklace. Set in cool 18k white gold, this elegant dangle necklace features 16 dainty bezel-set diamonds that total 1.31 ctw. Because the diamond necklace falls at 16 inches, it rests right at the clavicle, allowing the 16 bezel-set diamond charms to fan out across the collarbone flatteringly, glittering like tiny raindrops on the skin. Perfect for the girl who likes simple, sophisticated jewelry, Piña Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
Norman Silverman rings
In addition to its signature “modernized classic” white diamond designs, Normal Silverman is also famous for its unique affinity for jewelry designs featuring fancy color diamonds. Playing with shades of pink, orange, blue, and yellow, Norman Silverman’s fancy color diamond jewelry relies on gorgeous contrasts and pops of playfulness to conduct most of the storytelling here. Spectacular yellow diamond rings like the Norman Silverman Diamond Fashion Ring pair a splendid white diamond with a bright yellow diamond of the same carat weight and cut, resulting in the most luxurious yin-and-yang design. On this platinum and 18k yellow gold ring, two opposing twists of platinum featuring a handful of channel-set baguette-cut white diamonds meet in the middle, each with a large, Asscher-cut diamond on the end. On the left-hand side, the platinum band ends in a flawless clear Asscher-cut white diamond, which nestles directly underneath the channel-set baguette diamond accents of the right-hand platinum arm of the ring. The right-hand side extends with a jaw-dropping Asscher-cut yellow diamond, which then sits directly above the channel-set baguette diamond accents of the left-hand arm of the ring. The result? The perfect balance of size, shape, color, and position. Feeling zen yet?
