Eye candy: New Arrivals From IPPOLITA

With the change in seasons comes a fresh sensibility and a vibrant color pallet. One of our favorite brands for its fashion-forward, colorful aesthetic has arrived with a spring collection featuring new designs grounded in the qualities we love most—especially at this time of year.
Ippolita Rostagno, designer of the eponymous jewelry brand IPPOLITA, was raised in the hills of Tuscany and draws inspiration from art and architecture of the Italian Renaissance. You can see these influences in her designs which are unquestionably feminine, and create a sense of “more is more.” Her pieces are a celebration of shape and form, and are intended to be layered. The stones are meant to be stacked, mixed and matched together. What’s more, each pair of earrings, necklace and ring is crafted by hand.

One of the lines that we’re particularly drawn to at the moment is the Rock Candy Collection. Featuring multi-faceted stones in a spectrum of colors, these designs are bright enough to wear during the day, yet substantial enough to wear at night. The Yellow Gold Linear Long Drop Earrings in Summer Rainbow in Summer Rainbow epitomize exactly this: a design with movement that catches the light and eye, yet isn’t overwhelming.

With the longer days, warmer weather, and new blooms of spring, the color and brightness of this collection feels especially appropriate. And don’t forget that Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10, and graduation is just around the corner. Designs from IPPOLITA make wonderful presents. A ring or pair of earrings featuring a birthstone is the perfect way to celebrate a new mom or send a graduate into the world with a piece of jewelry she can wear every day.
