About Me


Fun-Loving. Classy. Independent. Today’s woman possesses all of these qualities, and since its launch in 2005, ippie jewelry has allowed her to express her sophistication and spirit. Founded by Sandy Ip - a former financial analyst whose irrepressible creative energy inspired her to follow her true passion – ippie represents women who aren’t afraid to take risks, go after what they love and be who they are.
Having absorbed countless styles and works of art during her immersion in Europe and Asia, Sandy has created a brand of modern jewelry that is both classic and contemporary. Skillfully handcrafted with sterling silver, crystals, pearls, and gemstones, every piece meets the company’s standards of high quality. Funky, preppy, or trendy, ippie jewelry allows you to express your individual spirit.
It's hard to stay true to your style when everyone else is just following the latest trends. Whenever I see the same, tired styles of jewelry from department stores to specialty boutiques to street vendors, I'm left feeling very unsatisfied…that's the main reason I wanted to create a new brand of jewelry that is refreshing and different, something special, something rare…
