For over 20 years, Irit Ehrlich of Irit Design has been designing focal, patina-forward jewelry from her Malibu studio. A self-taught designer, she balances edge and elegance by drawing inspiration from historical iconography. Ancient Viking bracers, Maltese crosses and Victorian starbursts all have their place in her stylistic vocabulary. In this first capsule delivery from Irit Design, find a small selection of stand-outs: from fishbone-esque dangles and tahitian pearl pendants to a studded diamond cuff reminiscent of the night sky.
The lion’s share of Irit Design’s jewelry collection is either one-offs or limited editions. Her designs are more like works of art than standard wearables, each infused with distinct and unshakeable personality.
Among the cultural luminaries who adore Irit Design’s jewelry, those with a penchant for rock and roll rise above the rest— Irit has coyly shared that Ringo Starr is often photographed wearing her diamond peace sign.
While Irit Design’s jewelry is highly sculptural—one needs look no further than her layered chain necklace to feel immersed in scale—they possess an innate sensuality. Perhaps it’s the play of mixed metals and diamond, perhaps it’s the organic, interlocking shapes. Something about her work feels spontaneous and tantalizing—a glimmer that remains in the mind long beyond first impression.
“My pieces suit a spectrum of humans, ages and lifestyles…complement[ing] the stylistic freedom of our lives and times.”
— Irit Ehrlich of Irit Design
