Ippolita

Born and raised in the hills of Florence, Ippolita has always been inspired by both the richness and simplicity of Italian culture. As a young girl, she discovered her love for jewelry in the shops and stalls of Ponte Vecchio. An artist first and a designer second, Ippolita studied sculpture and ceramics for five years at the Instituto D’Arte in Florence before moving to the states in 1982 and launching her jewelry collection in New York with Bergdorf Goodman.

Art matters. This is Ippolita's credo and the lens through which she creates her jewelry. Craftsmanship is essential and noticeably present in every IPPOLITA piece. The unique sculptural quality of her jewelry comes from the fact that all of the materials are fashioned as objects of craft, intention and beauty. From precious metals to unique materials to expertly cut, hand-faceted gemstones, each piece is entirely hand made.
