Brighton - The "Heartistry" Beyond Our Products

The "Heartistry" Beyond Our Iconic Design Motif

Some brands only showcase their hearts on Valentine's Day, but we love hearts all year long. Known for our striking and collectible heart motifs, we're committed to celebrating love every single day. Hearts are so important to us and our mission that we've even included one in our company logo!

We're passionate about creating hearts for all the special people in your life, including yourself. Whenever you need an uplifting reminder that love exists everywhere, you can count on us to have a heart that's perfect for the specific moment and any occasion.

Our History of Hearts

More than 40 years ago, Jerry and Terri Kohl founded the Brighton brand with a vision for a different kind of company, one that would be built from the heart. They focused on treating their customers the way they also love to be treated. 

Today, Brighton is one of the few design houses where our in-house designers, along with a team of artisans, create all handbags, jewelry, and accessories in the unique Brighton manner. Adopting a heart as our symbol is no accident.

The heart motif adorns many of our products, but it also represents our philosophy of putting our hearts into the creation of every single one of our treasures. We also give heartfelt contributions to charities throughout the U.S., helping to support women and families. We're dedicated to capturing memories and touching hearts!

Diverse Design Team, a Variety of Hearts

We're proud of our variety of hearts. If you think that a heart can only look one specific way, then you need to check out our assortment of heart-shaped products, representing many aesthetics and drawing from global inspiration. 

Our diverse team of talented designers are wildly imaginative and creative, and they love observing cultures from all over the world for new perspectives and ideas. Their designs represent this curious, open-minded approach to reinventing something as familiar as the heart. When you buy a Brighton heart, you're getting a thoughtful and inspired collector's item.
