Taught to see the beauty in all the little things around us by her mother, each piece of jewelry Judith designs is an expression of the beauty in the world as shared through the eyes of her mother.
Judith’s extraordinary eye for design has helped her clients understand that fashion is not about style and creating a total look – including accessories. Beyond clothes, jewelry is integral to a woman’s wardrobing and provides the finishing-touch to any outfit. Each piece of jewelry is designed to complement each other, to preset an entire ensemble based upon certain constant design features, so that pieces designed over 30 years ago are relevant to and can be worn with the designs of today. Women become collectors of Judith’s jewelry and build a jewelry wardrobe.
Taking a cue from her busy life of wife, mother and grandmother, Judith creates versatile, classic jewelry with a special modern twist. Women of all generations are repeatedly captivated by Judith Ripka’s elaborate flair for detail. Judith’s strong connection with her clients is as impressive as her jewelry; often working side-by-side with clients, Judith finds joy in sharing her unique interpretation of color, gemstones, metals and overall design.
