We’re proud to share that Bernard James has been selected as a finalist for the 2025 CFDA x Vogue Fashion Fund.

This nomination is a meaningful moment for our team. It recognizes the years we’ve spent building something intentional, rooted in craftsmanship, personalization, and emotional connection. We’ve always believed that fine jewelry should carry more than just aesthetic value. It should reflect identity, memory, and legacy.

To be acknowledged by the CFDA and Vogue, two institutions that have shaped the trajectory of American fashion, is an honor. As a brand that started in a Brooklyn apartment and now serves a global community, this milestone is both humbling and energizing.

Thank you to our clients, collaborators, and community for helping us get here. We're looking forward to what’s ahead.

– Bernard & the BJ Team
