about the jewelry
Each piece of Ruth NY jewelry is designed by Ali before being crafted by either Ali herself or some of the best craftsmen in New York City’s diamond district. All are crafted in recycled solid 14k gold and responsibly-sourced gemstones. Pieces are made to be played with, stacked, and collected, with the idea that modern heirlooms can both be affordable and last a lifetime! Every piece is customizable, just reach out, and we’ll make it happen!
Ruth NY jewelry is made-to-order in order to reduce waste and allow for thoughtful production.
about the brand
Ruth NY embodies the playful spirit of our inner child with a "big girl" job.
In 2020, Ali started Ruth NY with a simple desire: to create nostalgic, whimsical pieces she couldn't find anywhere else.
What began as a passion project quickly caught the attention of others, and we are so grateful that our designs have found a place in the hearts of many.
Ruth NY's pieces reflect Ali's love for creating adorable, meaningful jewelry that captures the joy of childhood and the beauty of growing up.

Ali has spent almost a decade designing for some of the industry's most well-respected brands. When an opportunity arose to join a shared jewelry workspace in 2020, she seized the opportunity to create for herself again.
