In the ever-evolving world of fine jewellery, where design trends shift with the seasons and status still holds sway, Suzy Levian is doing something remarkably rare—she’s making timeless, wearable pieces that mean something. The designer, who was raised in a multi-generational jewellery family dating back 500 years, knows craftsmanship down to the core. She grew up in Iran, sitting next to her father, watching him sketch and source gemstones, absorbing the trade—but never imagining she’d one day lead her own brand. That’s because, in her culture, jewellery was a man’s legacy. Women weren’t the ones to take the torch. Until Suzy.
When Levian’s father passed, the family business went to her brothers. That moment sparked something deeper. In 2010, she launched Suzy Levian, with six kids at home and zero interest in waiting for permission. Her goal wasn’t to copy tradition, but to reimagine it. From the beginning, Suzy infused her designs with symbolism. The most iconic feature? The Secret Diamond, a hidden stone placed inside each piece, where only the wearer knows it’s there. It might be on the inside of a ring, behind a pendant, or beneath a cuff. That detail isn’t just beautiful—it’s personal. ‘It’s about the diamond within you,’ Suzy says.
This signature touch became the soul of the brand. Women write to Suzy’s team sharing the emotional connection they feel to their jewellery—the sense of being reminded of their worth, their strength, and their story every time they put it on. Here is where Suzy really stands apart: she’s not interested in making jewellery just for the 1 per cent. She designs for everyone. From high-end diamond pieces to affordable yet luxurious CZ rings, her goal is to make beauty accessible, without sacrificing quality. Every design begins as a sketch. Every stone is placed with precision.
Suzy Levian offers sizes and half-sizes across all rings—a rarity in the jewellery world—because she believes a perfect fit is non-negotiable. Her eternity bands are some of the best in the business: smooth, bold, and stunning. And her travel-ready cubic zirconia engagement rings are indistinguishable from the real thing—ideal for jet-setters or those who want beauty without the worry.
While many brands rushed to embrace lab-grown diamonds, Suzy took a step back. She recognized the unpredictability of the market and chose to stay focused on consistency and long-term value. Her CZ pieces reflect the same attention to detail as her diamond pieces—proof that beauty and quality don’t need to break the bank. From her DTC site to major placements at Macy’s, Nordstrom Rack, and Rue La La, Suzy Levian has created a scaleable brand without losing its soul. She’s now expanding into handbags, home décor, and fashion—all designed with that same vision: bold femininity and meaningful design.
Levian doesn’t follow trends—she builds legacies. And she’s doing it with quiet confidence, deep integrity, and a belief that the most important sparkle isn’t the one people see—it’s the one you carry inside.
