Chicago, United States IPPOLITA Full time

Company Description


IPPOLITA was founded by Florence born and raised artist Ippolita Rostagno. In 1999, after having identified a void for fine jewelry that could be worn every day, she created a line of her own. Her background in sculpture led her to create a signature language of organic silhouettes and sculpted forms. With shapes imprinted directly on her body, Rostagno has created a line of jewelry that has an unmistakable style and is known for its inherent wearability.


In November 2020, Ippolita Rostagno, CEO and Creative Director of her eponymous jewelry brand IPPOLITA, opened her boutique on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. The Chicago boutique represents a conceptual, innovative way of shopping fine jewelry. With its open-selling experience it removes the traditional “behind-the-glass" boundary found in most luxury jewelers. Customers are invited to touch, try on and experience the jewelry in a more intimate, direct way as though opening and stepping into one’s personal jewelry box.
