IPPOLITA Makes Personal Appearance at Saks Fifth Avenue

Launched in 1999, IPPOLITA is best known for her old-European ideal of refined handcraftsmanship with a modern sensibility. She successfully created a unique, fashion forward jewelry aesthetic to discerning contemporary and classic customers. Her well known bangles, which transition perfectly from day to night, are hand cast and every gemstone is hand-cut. With a strong following among celebrities and style makers worldwide, including Chloe Sevigny, Jennifer Lopez and Sofia Vergara, IPPOLITA combines vibrant colors and precious stones for pieces that women reach for every day, not just special occasions. In a recent Wall Street Journal interview Ippolita said “The key to pulling off bold jewelry shades with style is managing your colors carefully.” She often wears sets of her multicolored arm bangles, and says she likes “looking down at my wrist 10 or 100 times a day and seeing a fun armful of color. It elevates your spirit.”

Let IPPOLITA elevate your spirit with her effortlessly chic, modern, timeless, versatile, luxurious and handcrafted Fall/Winter 2012 pieces. Meet the designer Wednesday, September 19th from 11-1 at Saks Fifth Avenue located on 5115 Westheimer at Houston Galleria. Visit http://www.saks.com or http://www.sakspov.com for more information.
