Why he rocks: A stop at Levi’s takes you on a jewelry tour of exotic gems you can’t help but tap to see closer. He gets access to Christie’s and Sotheby’s auction house jewelry and heritage collections from luxury makers like Bulgari. He explains the pieces like a friend who’s sharing his beloved treasures, friendly and passionate. If you’ve got wanderlust from being cooped up this year, a few minutes with Levi will transport you.

Self-described: Founder & Creative Director of @BYCHARI, Jamaican girl living in LA

Why she rocks: Before she was widely known as the designer of Michelle Obama’s famous “VOTE” necklace, Chari’s LA-based jewelry line, BYCHARI, had a devout following of women who “appreciate simplicity but demand luxury—just as she does.” Glancing into her world, you get glimpses into her refined, sensual aesthetic, as well as live vicariously through her international travels. If turquoise waters, modern design, and yellow gold and diamonds are your jam, Chari’s your woman.

Why she rocks: An esteemed editor and jewelry historian, Stellene runs the show for Town & Country’s Jewelry Awards. Her Instagram is a mix of iconic jewelry moments, wondrous interiors, and her travels discovering the most extraordinary jewels in the world, like when she held the 563-carat sapphire Star of India. And Stellene’s jewelry obsession runs deep: she wrote a juicy, historical book coming out this month called Jewels That Made History: 101 Stones, Myths, and Legends.
