Made locally. Designed to last.
At Ivy & Rose we design all our jewelry in house and craft it right here in our Chicago shop. When you buy from us, you know you are investing in a piece that is unique and thoughtfully crafted.
Our Beginning
Drawing from Generations of Experience
Ilya Kunin, the founder of Ivy & Rose, is the third generation of his family to work in the jewelry trade. It all began with his grandfather, Markus Kunin. Starting with an apprenticeship under a Faberge master engraver, Markus dedicated his career to the rare artform of hand engraving. The miniscule details and exacting precision of hand engraving makes this work a true labor of love and can transform a jewelry piece into a romantic piece of wearable art. In founding Ivy & Rose, Ilya took his grandfather's craft to heart. While Ivy & Rose has branched out into new jewelry styles and techniques, every piece is still made with the same care and thoughtful craftsmanship.

Meet our Designer:
"When I’m designing jewelry I never know where inspiration might pop up. The way a color palette blends in a vintage photo or where the lines in a skyscraper meet. I'm absorbing details, shapes and textures wherever I can find them. There is truly something beautiful to be found all around us."
- Amanda Marsh
Vintage craft and artistry made accessible for a new generation
Driven by a love for the intricate craftsmanship and romantic artistry present in vintage metalwork, Ivy & Rose sought out modern technologies and hired a team of in house experts to recreate this fine detail work. Today, we can offer the same fine detail, craftsmanship, and originality at accessible pricing.
