When colored gemstones curator Kimberly Collins was about to say yes, she already knew who would make her ring: the Pompos Jewelry team. Her stunning emerald engagement ring is a testament to their legendary craftsmanship. It is always interesting to see what an industry insider chose as an engagement ring, so we needed to know more about this iconic LA based jeweler and stopped by their booth at Luxury by JCK during Vegas Jewelry week.
This tight-knit Los Angeles family brand has mastered something rare in today’s jewelry world: the art of making heirloom-quality pieces that feel completely contemporary. With equal parts old-school craftsmanship and fresh perspective, Pompos Jewelry built something exceptional over generations. It all started with one man and his vision. Pompos, the brand’s patriarch, wasn’t just opening another jewelry store. He was establishing an artisan’s workshop where every piece would be handcrafted with intention. Working alone at his bench in LA, he built his reputation one custom creation at a time, treating each commission not as a transaction, but as a chance to tell someone’s story with precious metals and stones.
Today, his sons carry that flame forward, literally and figuratively. They’ve inherited more than just tools and techniques. They’ve embraced a philosophy that jewelry should be deeply personal, expertly crafted, and built to last generations. “Jewelry should mean something,” explains Gabriel Pompos, one of the brothers now leading the family business. “Our dad taught us that we’re not just making pretty things. We’re building trust, telling stories, and helping people mark the moments that define their lives.”
We had such a great time capturing some of Pompos beautiful jewelry and we spotted their interpretation of 3 important 2025 jewelry trends.
Sapphire engagement rings
Sapphire engagement rings are in high demand and Pompos sources the most beautiful and rare gemstones to set in their signature styles such as rare deep blue Ceylon sapphires. Looking at their Art Deco-inspired engagement ring settings feels like discovering vintage treasures that were somehow designed specifically for today’s brides. They are one-of-a-kind pieces with instant heirloom quality
Expendable jewelry
The new Pompos Stretch Collection is an elevated approach to a fashionable and practical trend. Their stunning diamond bracelets and matching bands somehow manage to be both luxurious and surprisingly practical. Crafted in platinum with ingenious titanium springs, they flex to fit perfectly and bounce back beautifully, proving that innovation and elegance aren’t mutually exclusive.
Big fashionable natural diamond looks
With a mix of modern and classic natural diamond pieces, Pompos reimagines classic sparkle for a new generation, catching light in ways that feel both timeless and totally fresh. We love their mixed shaped diamond princess necklaces, and how show stopping is this 6.39ct Cushion Cut Natural Diamond H SI1 GIA certified?
What sets Pompos apart isn’t just their undeniable technical skill, though watching them work is like witnessing poetry in motion. It’s how deeply personal everything feels. They’re not chasing fleeting trends or mass-producing cookie-cutter designs. Whether crafting a one-of-a-kind engagement ring that captures a couple’s unique love story or designing a statement necklace that makes you feel like the most confident version of yourself, every Pompos piece carries that rare combination of edge and intention. You don’t need to understand the technical specifications to recognize quality this exceptional. You can simply feel it. And in a world of fast fashion and disposable everything, that kind of lasting craftsmanship feels revolutionary.
