Clean lines, classic shapes and unexpected edges. Jade Ruzzo makes fine jewelry that is devoid of trends but big on attitude. “To me, nothing is more beautiful than a simple design that whispers instead of yells,” explains Jade. “There’s such power in that.” Her pieces — understated but with a distinct ‘cool factor’ — feature chunky colored gemstones, hand-chosen diamonds and lustrous pearls deftly set into luxurious 18-karat gold. After studying at FIT and spending a decade in fashion and personal styling, Jade decided to bring her own vision for less-is-more heirlooms to market: a timeless ode to sentimental moments.
Her love for jewelry blossomed into much more after losing her beloved father, Vic, in 2015 and always searching for items that she felt represented him. After the birth of her daughter Gloria in 2019, Jade decided to turn her passion into a business, with the intention of designing jewelry she could pass down to the next generation.
Jade brings a fresh perspective to fine accessories. Handmade in NYC, the colorful cabochon-covered Vic collection can be customized to suit every taste; and the Tennessee collection — a perfect balance of heavy metal and delicate dancing gemstones — is on its way to becoming a cult classic. Percussion, an ode to her father, a drummer, riffs on instruments including wind chimes, cymbals and cowbells; while the forthcoming POP collection focuses on gorgeous golden tones and bold silhouettes. In addition to her 2024 Fashion Trust US nomination, Jade was named one of Vogue magazine’s New Designers to Know in 2023.
