Los Angeles - based designer Irene Neuwirth began designing jewelry in 2003 and has since created a widely recognized luxury jewelry brand. A staple for red carpet events, her collections, both whimsical and bold, are inspired by the natural world, art, and Neuwirth’s fascination with color. Entirely handmade, each piece is created from brightly colored precious and semi - precious stones, often raw and un - manufactured gem cuts, meticulously set into 14k yellow gold. Her pieces are aspirational yet approachable , with sophistication, femininity, and charm.
