April 10, 2025 — The Italian Jewelry Company, a proudly family-owned business celebrating Italian artistry in fine jewelry, is making waves in the luxury accessories market with their signature collections of hoop earrings, Italian gold chains, and symbolic heritage pieces. With a deep passion for Italian culture and craftsmanship, the company is a celebration of Old World tradition blended with modern elegance.

Founded by Jennifer Derrig, a dual Italian-American citizen and long-time jewelry industry expert, The Italian Jewelry Company is the sister brand of the beloved The Irish Jewelry Company, which launched in 2009 and has since built a devoted following for its beautifully crafted Celtic and Irish-inspired designs. Together, these brands offer customers a meaningful way to honor their heritage – whether it’s Gaelic or garlic, or a charming mix of both.

“My husband is a dual Irish citizen, and I’m a dual Italian citizen,” says founder Jennifer Derrig. “We created these companies to reflect our family’s roots and to share the rich stories and symbolism found in both Irish and Italian cultures.”

From shimmering Italian gold chains to intricately designed hoop earrings, each piece from The Italian Jewelry Company embodies generations of craftsmanship and timeless style. Every collection is inspired by traditional Italian motifs – including religious icons, Italian sayings, and protective symbols like the Cornicello – all handcrafted or finished in Italy.

However, the recent announcement of a 20% Trump-era tariff reinstatement on luxury Italian imports, including jewelry, poses a challenge to small and medium-sized Italian businesses exporting to the United States. This move threatens to impact artisans and family-owned companies like The Italian Jewelry Company that rely on affordable access to Italy’s time-honored craftsmanship.

Despite these concerns, the team remains hopeful. “We are confident that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will keep her pledge to support small Italian businesses and iconic industries like Italian jewelry,” says Derrig. “We also believe that the EU will work toward a favorable resolution that will allow Italian artisans to thrive globally without the burden of excessive tariffs.”

Both The Italian Jewelry Company and its sister brand continue to grow, offering customers around the world a heartfelt way to connect with their cultural identity through high-quality jewelry. Whether it’s a shimmering gold hoop earring reminiscent of your nonna’s style or a Claddagh ring honoring your Celtic ancestry, the brands’ mission remains clear: to celebrate heritage with heart and authenticity.

As the company looks toward the future, they remain devoted to delivering exceptional craftsmanship, timeless beauty, and meaningful storytelling through their collections.
