Meet Irene, Again!
September 2026
If you’re here, you know her jewelry, her love of color, her endless quest for the juiciest of gemmy gems, and most certainly her love for her beloved animals. But we wanted to reintroduce you to Irene, the woman behind the flowers, lucky charms, ultra fine beads, and wonderfully unexpected combinations that delight us all.
"In California’s Santa Ynez Valley, jewelry designer Irene Neuwirth finds a place for all her passions: fashion, horses, and nature."
"I love that women wear my jewelry for every day, not only to dress up. My dream is for the jewelry to be enjoyed and passed down from generation to generation, to be part of someone’s life and story in that beautiful way is such an honor."
Although show jumping and jewelry making might seem to have little in common, Neuwirth finds the two pursuits overlap in surprising and meaningful ways. Like working with rare gemstones, cavorting with unpredictable thousand-pound animals requires an intuitive respect for nature. And when things go right, it can take on a meditative, even spiritual quality.
"Phil is the best. It's that simple. He makes me laugh until my stomach hurts, supports every grand idea, and just really gets me. Isn't that what love is all about?"
"It’s an instinct, but color, color, color! And unusual shapes. I’m always attracted to the imperfections, that’s what makes a stone beautiful to me."
