THE JOURNAL
MR PORTER In America is a three-week-long, coast-to-coast journey through the heartlands of US style. Our goal is to celebrate the diversity of American design by giving a platform to the country’s most exciting brands, taking in not just ready-to-wear but homeware, accessories and even jewellery.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: jewellery is one of the new frontiers of masculine self-expression, and it’s home to some of the US’s most cutting-edge design, too. So, settle in as we round up five future heirlooms that have caught our eye, from Jacquie Aiche’s modern talismans to dazzling creations from celebrity jeweller Mr Greg Yüna. Read on – and don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled as more exclusives drop over the next two weeks.

The Jacquie Aiche graphic cuff
Ms Jacquie Aiche’s collections are inspired by her Native American and Egyptian roots. Case in point? This stunning graphic cuff depicting a desert scene. Cast from silver and set with multicoloured stones, it’s sure to add a point of interest to any look. If your jewellery game is on the quieter side, try this smaller desert pendant necklace from the same collection.

Celebrity jeweller Mr Greg Yüna is based in the heart of Manhattan’s diamond district, where he crafts bold, statement pieces and counts anyone from Drake to Lil Yatchy and Shy Glizzy among his fans. This contemporary take on the charm bracelet is a great example of his signature style – it’s made from white gold and blue sapphires in different cuts, each encased in pavé diamonds.
