IPPOLITA was founded in 1999 by Italian artist and designer, Ippolita Rostagno, to provide women with fine jewelry that could be worn every day. At the time, jewelry was primarily traditional. It was often designed by men and reserved only for special occasions. Ippolita sought to change this precious sentiment by creating pieces that were comfortable, sexy, and perfect for every occasion. She started designing pieces with the contemporary woman in mind, becoming one of the first to create timeless, yet cool fine jewelry. With every collection she designs, her purpose is to empower women to buy for themselves and elevate their personal style.
