About: The Judith Ripka brand was founded in 1977, designing jewelry that fits seamlessly into a woman’s life, forming an enduring emotional connection. Judith started her namesake brand in New York, a city charged with glamour and energy.
"IN EVERYTHING WE DO, WE HELP WOMEN LOOK AND FEEL THEIR BEST AT EVERY MOMENT." – JUDITH RIPKA
Jewelry is about wishes and dreams, about celebrating and keeping close to the moments that give life meaning. While some may refer to the symbolic meaning of jewelry in a woman’s life, Judith Ripka’s evolution from a child playing in her mother’s jewelry box to a world-renowned designer is the literal fulfillment of a lifelong dream.
Since launching her career in 1977, Ripka has helped others understand that fashion is about style and creating a total look. Taking cues from her busy life as wife, mother, and grandmother, Ripka designs versatile, classic jewelry with a modern twist. Often working side-by-side with clients, she finds joy in sharing her unique interpretation of color, gems, metals, and overall design.
Ripka's passion for jewelry and for her family sparkles with unmatched brilliance. Although, Judith retired in 2019, here representing the family is Heidi Ripka, Vice President of Product Development, who has been with the brand for 26 years.
Since 2019, the brand has been reimagined with a more modern and casually glamorous look, perfect for today’s current lifestyle.
Kendra Bridelle represents Judith Ripka, as Vice President of Sales, overseeing the distribution of these new collections globally.
