History

New York native and jewelry superstar, Judith Ripka has created an empire in women's fine jewelry that continues to draw more and more followers. As a certified independent seller of Judith Ripka designs, we at Woodrow Jewelers of Rye, NY, appreciate the uniqueness and style her story and her pieces provide our customers.

A graduate of Parson's School of Design, it is no wonder her passion for life and art combined to create pieces that could accessorize any woman's outfit. From 18k gold to diamonds, and multi-gemstone pieces to cubic zirconia, she has amassed collections that can fit anyone's individuality. Early in her career working as an assistant jewelry buyer for New York-based May Company, she gathered all the knowledge she could before taking the risk to leave her position and start her own brand. Now, she may not have built her business out of a garage, likened to tech giants like Steve Jobs, but she did create and sell her jewelry from her living room before opening her own store nearly 15 years later.

Judith Ripka was a jewelry dreamer in a time when the market was dominated by male influencers, and she believes this is one of the main reasons she worked as hard as she did to build her business. Her inspiring story that started nearly 45 years ago has grown into an incredible vision that spans internationally and is revered by stylish women and collectors alike.
