Design Inspiration
A native New Yorker, Judith Ripka often draws on the sights, sounds, and history of the city for design inspiration. Judith's latest design, the Gotham Gold Necklace, not only commemorates the 100th anniversary of the New York City subway, but also salutes 100 years of New Yorkers commuting in style. Set in 18-karat yellow matte gold and accented with diamonds and black onyx, the Gotham Gold Necklace is a miniature replica of the MTA MetroCard, and gives a brand new meaning to "bling around the collar."
