Ippolita

As the daughter of an American artist and an Italian intellectual, art, beauty, and culture have been a significant part of Ippolita Rostagno’s life. Moving to the United States at the young age of 18, Ippolita quickly got to work finding a way to incorporate her love of beauty into a business. It didn’t take long for her to recognize a gap in jewelry offerings for women. “Where was all the jewelry for the cool women? Where was the jewelry for busy, independent women that wanted pieces they could wear with a T-shirt but also a gown? Where was the jewelry that was on-trend but not trendy — the jewelry women could wear today, yet pass down for generations because it was made from real materials?” She began to craft her own pieces using techniques honed in her years studying sculpture, but they all had to pass one test — they had to be “cool enough to covet, yet classic enough to keep.” It wasn’t long before the world took note.
