Judith Ripka - the designer

Award-winning designer Judith Ripka inspires those who appreciate style, design and uncompromising quality. “When a woman is wearing my jewelry, I want her to feel as if she is wrapped in one of life’s greatest luxuries,” states Judith.

Born and raised in New York, Judith’s earliest memories are of playing in her mother’s jewelry box and accessorizing her clothing by tying a heart charm to her belt, hanging a pin off a chain or transforming a necklace into a belt and weaving it through the belt-loops of her jeans. Some of Judith’s friends played with dolls, other played sports, Judith accessorized. Designing jewelry is part of Judith’s DNA, and Judith always knew that she would be a jewelry designer.
