About Diana Vincent

Simple, elegant designs, pure fluidity, and swirling shapes that evoke a sense of continuity, are the hallmarks of Diana Vincent's work. They establish her as one of the country's preeminent jewelry designers, and attract a loyal following of international jewelry connoisseurs who eagerly await each new Diana Vincent creation to add to their collection.

Diana owes much of her early success and achievement to her constant lifelong exposure to the finest in style and design. While young, Diana attended many of the fashion shows of her uncle, James Galanos, the internationally acclaimed couturier. Diana noted Galanos' insistence on putting design first, his unrelenting high standards of craftsmanship, and his refusal to cut corners on quality. These principles resonated in Diana, and she continued his legacy of excellence in her own work as she set forth on her own.

After attending the highly regarded Temple University's Tyler School of Art, honing her craft in design and metalsmithing in Rome, and earning a BFA in 1980, she followed her passion for cutting edge design by establishing Diana Vincent Inc. It was here that she began creating innovative, exciting jewelry and collections, elevating each of her creations into wearable works of art.

Diana rocketed to international fame when she became the youngest recipient of the most prestigious award in jewelry, the much-coveted DeBeers Diamonds International Award in Paris, 1984. That same year she received The Best New Designer of the Year Award from the Jewelers of America. Diana's talent was recognized once again when she won the DeBeers Diamonds International Award for the second time in Milan, in 1986. This coup distinguished Diana Vincent as the only American to win the DeBeers bi-annual award for two consecutive years.

Since that time, she has continued to achieve worldwide accolades and has had the honor of having her designs installed in the DeBeers Private International Collection and in the Gemological Institute of America Museum collection.

Diana's work has been featured on television and is repeatedly seen at such celebrity events as The Academy Awards, The Vogue VH1 Fashion Awards, and has been displayed on the pages of In Style, Martha Stewart, Town & Country, Modern Bride and countless other national and international magazines.

Today Diana Vincent continues her first love - designing. In addition, she continues to regularly win awards, exhibit her jewelry in museums and showcases worldwide, and speak to design students at the nation's most prestigious art schools about groundbreaking jewelry design. She is now widely regarded as one of the most creative, original jewelry designers in America.
