INIMITABLE JEWELRY BY JADE TRAU

By laura kern

“When I look at a diamond, even after doing this for almost 20 years, I get excited, like it’s the first time seeing them when I was six-years old at my grandfather’s office.” JADE TRAU

Born and raised in New York City, the jewelry designer Jade Trau is no stranger to the Midtown Manhattan diamond district. It’s where her family’s legacy began and it’s where she feels most at home. Having started as a diamond buyer, Jade’s deep understanding of the diamond-sourcing process plays a pivotal role in how she discerningly selects her stones for each collection. Trau is known to be always wearing one of her own spectacular designs. And, she is never ever without her loupe, a magnifying lens used to inspect diamonds and gems. Now, that’s diamond dedication and passion! She often refers to the three great loves of her life: her twin teenage sons and her company’s designs. All Jade Trau jewelry collections are classically elegant, inflected with contemporary flair, and never generic. From the meticulous selection of ethically-sourced, natural diamonds to the process of crafting the perfect setting in gold or platinum, Trau’s intimate connection with her designs results in gorgeous pieces that are easy to wear and feel almost like a second skin.

In addition to her original designs, Jade creates bespoke pieces for clients and breathes new life into existing pieces. She meets with clients to discuss their vision for a custom piece and to learn the story behind an existing piece of jewelry. She then presents sketches to ensure the perfect design or reimagining of jewelry — pieces that can be worn for generations to come.
