BAYCO: A LEGACY OF LUXURY - FEBRUARY 2025 NEWS

Since arriving at J Farren-Price in May last year, Bayco jewellery has captivated our clients with its irresistible gemstones and exceptional craftsmanship. Bayco’s timeless style is a harmonious balance of classic and modern, prominence and sophistication, elegance and uniqueness.

Bayco’s reputation for unparalleled quality has also been recognised on the global stage. In 2023, Rihanna sparkled at CinemaCon in a combination of denim, diamonds, and sapphires. The star of the show was her gorgeous necklace, featuring blue sapphires for a total of 47.32 carats and shimmering diamonds totalling 35.56 carats.

Rihanna also showcased a breathtaking Bayco ruby ring at the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show to match her all-red ensemble. Crafted in platinum, this extraordinary piece features a 20 carat unheated Cabouchon Ruby enhanced by more than 10 carats of diamonds.

Whether it be sapphires and rubies or emeralds and diamonds, all Bayco creations are synonymous with luxury, exclusivity, and show-stopping glamour. Each masterpiece is crafted to the highest standard, embodying its own distinct identity. 

The 5 Pillars of Bayco’s Quality & Craftsmanship

At the heart of Bayco’s philosophy lies an unwavering dedication to excellence. Their commitment to sourcing the rarest gemstones and transforming them into wearable works of art follows five key principles: Rarity, Quality, Design, Selection, and Craftsmanship.

Rarity

Bayco has always conceived its jewels as exclusive creations. The vast majority of jewels created are one-of-a-kind pieces, which are rare for two reasons; first and foremost, the quality of the gemstones, and secondly the quality of the design and craftsmanship.

Quality

Throughout decades, the name Bayco has become synonymous with quality. This is because founder Amir Hadjibay had a simple dream; to collect the most precious stones in the world. His motto was simple, “buy only the best and leave the rest for the competition”. Today, more than ever, quality and fine craftsmanship remain the tenet for creation at Bayco. Each masterpiece is handcrafted and set with the purest gemstones of the finest colour. Every aspect of each jewel is personally inspected by a member of the Hadjibay family throughout the production process to make sure it stands by all the requirements embodied in the Marque of Excellence, the most exclusive quality standard in the industry.

Design

Each jewel is designed specifically around the stones that it carries. Like a bespoke tailor creating a dress for a specific muse, Bayco's process begins with the stone rather than the design. Each design is a custom creation made specifically to accentuate the utmost beauty of each stone.

Selection

Since its foundation, Bayco has prided itself on finding the most precious stones in the world. Through various channels, whether directly from the mines or from estates of important families, the Hadjibays are able to source the best there is in precious gemstones. Each stone has to pass the Bayco quality standards which look at the size, colour, clarity, shape, cut, and lustre of a gemstone.

Craftsmanship

Every piece is handcrafted in the Bayco Atelier in New York. The team of jewellers that has been assembled over decades is a melting pot of international experience. Master jewellers experienced in various styles from different regions of the world come together to create a collective level of experience that is unparalleled globally to help bring Bayco creations to life.
