When you think of Aspen, images of snow-capped peaks, luxury ski lodges, and high-style après ski scenes come to mind. But nestled among the upscale boutiques and gourmet restaurants is a hidden gem for jewelry lovers: Meridian Jewelers. Recently featured in Natural Diamonds as one of the best places to shop for diamond jewelry in Aspen, Meridian is more than a shop — it’s a crossroads of artistry, curated design, and individuality.
Here’s how Meridian stands out —
A Curated Vision for the Jewelry Connoisseur
Unlike generic stores that stock dozens of repeating lines, Meridian’s founder Robin Smith — along with Kenny Smith — built a boutique grounded in discovery. Their goal? To bring to Aspen unusual, striking pieces that you won’t see on every corner of the world.
From Fernando Jorge to Temple St. Clair, from Repossi to Silvia Furmanovich, Meridian offers collections that merge high design with wearability. It’s the kind of place where a client might stroll in “just to look,” and walk out with a statement diamond cuff or a delicate crescent necklace that becomes part of their story.
What’s Trending in Aspen — and at Meridian
One of the key things Natural Diamonds highlights is that Aspenites aren’t just after showpieces — they want diamonds that work from the slopes to dinner. Here are a few trends that Meridian is embracing:
- Straight-line (tennis) diamond necklaces: Elegant, versatile, and perfect for layering or wearing solo.
- Anita Ko’s crescent diamond necklaces: A favorite for good reason — sculptural but still delicate.
- Repose “Serti Sur Vide” ear cuffs: Surprise meets elegance — bold but lightweight.
- Hoorsenbuhs Phantom rings: Sleek, edgy, and reflective of a modern aesthetic.
By carrying such a mix of bold and wearable, Meridian positions itself as a place for both statement and everyday luxury.
