What Brighton Collectibles does

Brighton Collectibles is a privately held American fashion accessories company founded in 1974 and headquartered in City of Industry, California, operating as Brighton Collectibles, LLC. The company designs, produces, and sells women's jewelry, handbags, charms, footwear, and complementary accessories (including belts, sunglasses, fragrances, and home/office items) through three channels: direct-to-consumer e-commerce at brighton.com (built on the Shopify platform), a network of company-owned US retail stores, and authorized specialty boutiques. Brighton organizes its catalog into 18+ named designer collections — Meridian, Ferrara, Interlok, Contempo, Pretty Tough, Fashionista, Halo, Cascade, Heart to Heart, and Pebble among them — with in-house designers producing hand-drawn sketches that are executed by skilled artisans. The founder and President is Jerry Kohl.

The product portfolio spans approximately 1,729 jewelry SKUs (including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, watches, and anklets) plus handbags across crossbody, tote, satchel, straw, and backpack styles, charm jewelry organized by theme, footwear, and a broad accessories tail. Pricing is set per unit, with jewelry ranging from roughly $22 (birthstone amulets) to $248+ (signature necklaces) and free standard shipping on orders over $95, supplemented by Klarna 4-installment BNPL, free gift wrap, and a 60-day return policy backed by a 1-year warranty on jewelry and a separate handbag warranty.

Brighton monetizes almost exclusively through one-time retail purchases, supported by the Brighton Insider loyalty program, themed gift guides, and digital gift cards. The company employs 1,001–5,000 staff, primarily in retail and operations, and operates exclusively within the United States. There is no public revenue disclosure, no parent company, and no disclosed institutional investors, consistent with independent (likely family) ownership. Marketing spans Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube, email newsletter, and SMS signup, with a careers page indicating active hiring.
