Jewelry
Ippolita was born and raised in the hills above Florence, Italy and spent her childhood immersed in Renaissance art and architecture, eventually earning her Baccalaureate in sculpture at the renowned Istituto D'Arte. Her commitment to design integrity and craftmanship is evident in everything she creates. Before launching her 18k gold designer jewelry collection in 1999, Ippolita spent several months developing her own signature gold color, a gorgeous glowing hue which flatters every skin tone. Her signature bangles are hand cast from original wax sculptures, and the open-link chains she uses in her earrings and necklaces are formed and soldered by hand as well.
