Irene Neuwirth

This wonderland of fantastic gems crafted into eye-popping earrings, necklaces and rings is a cornucopia of pure aesthetic delight for any jewelry lover. Although Irene Neuwirth’s Melrose Place flagship is more of a visual playground for most (jeweled charms start around $1000 while necklaces run in the tens of the thousands), it’s still great spot for eye-candy (or to splurge on an engagement ring). Neuwirth’s stunning baubles, a fave of Hollywood types like Emma Stone, Reese Witherspoon, Amy Poehler, Angelina Jolie and Busy Phillips, are nothing short of beautiful. Inspired by the ocean, the 2014 CFDA winner harnesses its plethora of colors as inspiration for her designs, which combine raw-cut gems with brilliant hues in asymmetric and unconventional patterns.
