Jane Wullbrandt Fine Jewelry Designs “Trestle Collection” link bracelet, cufflinks and tuxedo studs

These jewelry artists understand that gold doesn’t have to be girly, diamonds don’t have to be delicate, and beautiful, handcrafted jewelry isn’t only a woman’s prerogative.

Jane Wullbrandt’s “Trestle Collection” was born after she found herself stuck in traffic under a railroad trestle. The Atlanta, Ga., artist offers her interpretation of the strong lattice framework she saw in precision-cut gemstones and 18kt gold. Her line includes tuxedo studs, signet rings, men’s bracelets and pendants, and her favorite, cufflinks. “I think they really finish a polished look and help men express themselves,” she says.
