Wish List Wednesday: Ippolita

When I heard the popular phrase “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” I instantly thought, well that’s specific! Why not just say jewelry is a girl’s best friend! Now, don’t get me wrong I am a big fan of diamonds, but I can’t discriminate to just the one gem. Blame it on growing up in San Francisco, but I love color. Once I moved to NYC, and saw myself surrounded by a sea of black everywhere, I knew I had to use my accessories to stand out. If there is one company that stands out it’s Ippolita.

After seeing a singular Ippolita piece, I knew I loved the aesthetic. Modern lines on classic shapes, unique twists to basic circles, standard gold to glowing turquoise. Once learning more about the actual woman behind the designs, I knew the connection. Ippolita is from Florence, my home in my heart. Growing up with Italian influences, choosing Florence as my study abroad location during college, and appreciating the beauty and art from the architecture, the sites, and just the joy of the city itself. The designs of Ippolita resonate with me aesthetically and are the official kickoff of Wish List Wednesday!

The new collection of Ippolita ranges from classic colors to blues, purples, and multi-colored stones all set in the signature 18K gold look. Ippolita was inspired by “organized randomness” which is clearly demonstrated by the myriad of shapes and sizes within each gorgeous piece.

Couldn’t you just imagine an arm full of these gorgeous bracelets and bangles?!

Ippolita Rosé® Lite Links collection is sterling silver with 18K gold and 18K rose gold to create the collection of the hottest jewelry trend for spring.

Pretty in pastels in the ‘Sterling Silver Wonderland.’

Drawing from inspiration stemming from jewelry shops on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, one of my absolute favorite places when I lived there, a new resin collection was created. The mix of colors, materials, and cuts make these look one of a kind.

One of my all time favorite looks is all white attire, preferably a sundress, with stacks and stacks of shining blue turquoise. The mix between the bright blues, greens, and mother-of-pearl is just enough to imagine a sunny southwest day at any time.

A favorite of the showroom, these earrings bring new dimension and inspiration. The unique cut, look, material all come together to create a gorgeous work of art.
