Our Story

Irene Neuwirth is a jewelry designer from Los Angeles. Her love affair with art and color was sparked at an early age by her bohemian painter mother, while her business-minded father taught her the principles of entrepreneurship. She began experimenting with jewelry design after college, stringing glass beads, mixing precious and semiprecious stones together without pretense or plan. Soon, she found herself inundated with requests for her one-of-a-kind pieces. In 2003, Irene Neuwirth Jewelry was born.

Since then, the world has fallen in love with Irene's whimsical sensibility and easy way with luxury. Her fascination with intense colors and raw, un-manufactured gem cuts have become signatures of her line.

As a red carpet favorite, the collection is worn by many of the most accomplished women in entertainment including Naomi Watts, Tracee Ellis Ross, Julianne Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Paulson, Busy Philipps, and Ruth Negga.

She is also an editorial darling, and the jewelry is consistently featured in Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Town & Country, W, and The New York Times.

Irene travels the globe to find the most beautiful, interesting gemstones and returns home to LA to design and produce her collection. Each piece is aspirational yet approachable, with sophistication, femininity and charm.

Today the collection can be found at our flagship stores on Melrose Place in Los Angeles and Madison Avenue in New York City, our Capitol + Irene Neuwirth destination at the Brentwood Country Mart, as well as leading boutiques across the globe.

Melrose

Our West Coast flagship store opened in 2014. The jewel box of a space is full of magical diorama displays and luxurious animal sculptures handmade by artist Clare Crespo. Brought to life in collaboration with renowned designer Pamela Shamshiri of Studio Shamshiri, the boutique features a full kitchen for entertaining which makes it the perfect extension of Irene’s sensibility and style.
“I just personally love entertaining so much, I thought, if I can’t do that in my dream store, what’s the point?”

Madison

Our New York City flagship opened in 2023. Irene once again tapped friend Pamela Shamshiri and her creative studio to help fulfill an expression of east coast sophistication through the brand's signature whimsically luxurious lens. Under the watchful eye of Ginger, the two-story giraffe designed by Clare Crespo, exclusive styles, one-of-a-kind pieces, and forever-favorites shine in the heart of the Big Apple.
“We decided early on to mix things up and collaborate with incredible artists and really push the limits of what was possible in an Upper East Side jewel box. A giraffe in the front window, a palm tree in the middle of the room. The way it all comes together feels magical – mesmerizing but not overwhelming, and a perfect home for the jewels.”
