Ivy Shea Jewelry was born from both passion and personal experience. While working full-time as a production designer at a high-end jewelry brand, I found myself longing for something of my own—something more personal.

After becoming a mom, I wanted a special piece to carry my daughter's name, but no necklace I found truly captured what I envisioned. Inspired by the craftsmanship I admired in other jewelry brands, I decided to create my own—designing a "nameplate" necklace that felt unique, timeless, and personal. That moment sparked something bigger, and from there, Ivy Shea Jewelry was born.
