Founder and Creative Director, IVI

Ivi Kyratzi is the founder and creative director of IVI. Born and raised in Cyprus, an island country in the eastern Mediterranean sea. Ivi was exposed to the luxury fashion industry early on due to her parent’s involvement in the industry. In 2007, she relocated to the United Kingdom to study business, and in 2010 she continued her studies at the Parsons New School of Design in New York City. After graduating from Parsons with a degree in Fashion Design, Ivi ventured to Los Angeles where she initiated IVI, she has since found herself at home, using the city and its natural surroundings as her muse.

In October 2016, Ivi met Gabriele Veneri, one of the jewelry industry’s most prolific manufacturers. Gabriele became a key figure in the development of the IVI brand. Together, Ivi and Gabriele bonded over a strong synergy and a shared mission to create a contemporary jewelry brand with a relentless drive to be at the forefront of sustainability, quality, and creativity.

In September 2019, Ivi collaborated with the Italian house Agnona to design their first-ever collection of jewelry. The collection was showcased on the catwalk during Milan Fashion Week under the creative direction of Simon Holloway. The collection was described as “The luxury of Simplicity” by Vogue Italia.

Our Manufacturing

IVI produces everything in a factory located in Arezzo, a beautiful city in Tuscany. Arezzo is historically known for being one of the most important cities in jewelry production. The owner of the factory is Gabriele Veneri. Gabriele is a lifelong metal manufacturer, second generation to his father Carlo Veneri who has been a pioneer in the industry.

69 of the 70 employees live within a 30km radius & most have been working at the same facility for numerous years.

All outsourced services are done by local businesses, and all raw materials are solely sourced from local suppliers to invest in the future of its local industry.

The factory gives back by organizing workshops and training courses for young students who want to learn about the art of goldsmithing.

Materials

Our jewelry pieces are made with the highest quality materials and the utmost attention to detail. At our Italian production facility, we integrate traditional artisan craftsmanship with the latest high-tech techniques. Our goal is to create a high-quality jewelry piece of a unique design that can be worn comfortably.

18K Gold: The IVI fine jewelry collection uses 18-karat Gold.

Gold Vermeil: The IVI fashion jewelry collection with gemstones uses gold vermeil. Vermeil consists of a 925 Sterling Silver base plated with 2.5-5 microns of pure Gold.

Gold Plated Silver: The IVI fashion jewelry collection of solid metal pieces uses 925 Sterling Silver as the base, plated with 1-2 microns of Pure Gold. 

Rhodium Plated Silver: The IVI silver jewelry collection uses 925 Sterling Silver plated with Rhodium. Rhodium finishes can significantly enhance the appearance and longevity of Sterling Silver.

our approach

IVI is a contemporary, conscious jewelry brand with a modern approach to the traditional craft of luxury. Established in Los Angeles in 2016 by California-based designer Ivi Kyratzi, IVI produces its pieces in Tuscany, Italy. Maintaining a close connection to classic sensibilities, the brand builds on the concept of the neo-heirloom. Uncompromising quality is at the forefront of the brand’s mission.

IVI offers a collection of intentional pieces that take an artful approach to everyday adorning – to be worn alone or stacked together. Paired with a white tee, or your finest. The line finds sensuality in contradictions, a comfort in simplicity and symmetry, an ode to the duality of the feminine and masculine in us all. IVI is ever-evolving yet remains dedicated to sourcing ethical materials and producing sustainably with precision for detail.
