Irina Victoria Jewelry is a teenage dream realized. After many years learning and working in STEM, I quit my job in research and founded ivjewelry.com.
In the early years, I handcrafted minimalist gold-filled and gold vermeil jewelry while quietly exploring fine jewelry sourcing and production. As a business, I wanted to embrace minimalism beyond the aesthetic. That meant using higher quality materials, emphasizing craftsmanship, abandoning trend-driven fashion, and refusing mindless consumerism.
IVJ transitioned from demi-fine jewelry to solely fine jewelry in 2019, focusing on responsible sourcing and production.
My goal is to create timeless and refined minimalist designs you're proud to wear because of the core values behind them. From everyday staples available online to private custom work, you can expect the same level of care.
For the record, I don't regret my time in STEM. I've always felt a pull in two directions—the analytical and the creative. Now I can appreciate that's what makes me and my business one of a kind.
