Jeff Cooper

Jeff Cooper began his journey in the jewelry industry as a young man in Manhattan’s Bowery district, working with his hands at the jeweler’s bench. He eventually broadened his horizons to sales and began working for several companies; he honed his skills and then founded his own company in 1976.

Jeff worked endless hours, designing and creating his line of fine jewelry as well as developing his relationships with fine retailers nationwide. Working in Platinum, Gold and Diamonds, Jeff always had his fingers on the pulse of the developing styles and trends of bridal jewelry. Jeff’s designs are clean, elegant and simple, Jeff believes it’s the classics that never go in and out of style, and that “less is more”.

In technical terms, to create simple and clean jewelry is more difficult then engraved work, because there is nowhere to hide, you cannot cover up poor quality metal and poor setting work. While the rest of the industry rides the waves of each trend, Jeff prefers to be consistent in his look and design philosophy and create rings that are indicative of his brand image and are easily identifiable as Jeff Cooper items.

In the year 2000, David Cooper, Jeff’s eldest son joined the company full time. Bringing with him a wealth of gemological experience, and creativity, the two are an award winning team and powerhouse. Jeff and David believe in quality and service, each ring is important to us for so many reasons. We view our jewelry as far more then a material possession, it’s symbolic of the union and relationship between two people, and it’s the foundation on which two people can build their future.

Bridal jewelry is something that no matter what, or how your day goes, you can always look at your rings and be reminded of that day you took your wedding vows, of the day of your proposal and all the joy, love and other emotions that rushed forth at that moment.

This importance and relevance is why every single ring is made 100% by hand in Jeff’s Long Island workshop, Jeff does everything here and his product is 100% made in the USA, unlike many other designers. By creating each ring by hand under one roof, he has total control over quality, precision and is able to create anything a client can think of.
