Italian-born Ilaria Lanzoni is an internationally renowned jewelry designer with 25 years of high-end jewelry design experience. In 2012, Ilaria moved to the U.S. to join Hearts On Fire (HOF) as the first official Design Director and brought her expertise and eye for style with her to the company. During her seven years with HOF she designed multiple collections, from one of a kind, to classics and bridal jewelry.

Prior to HOF, Ilaria lived in London for many years working as the Head of Design for Garrard Fine Jewelry. There, she sharpened her skills creating several of the brand’s collections and working closely with renowned designer, Stephen Webster.

Ilaria approaches her craft with an open-heart and an open-mind; rooted in the belief that inspiration lives all around her. From the starry night-time sky of her childhood in Northern Italy to the charming historic streets of Boston (the first American city Ilaria called home) and the vibrant, dynamic energy of the New York City skyline — where she now inhabits. Ilaria aims to capture the essence of her experiences and translate it into fashionably timeless jewelry. It is Ilaria’s mission that her designs will encourage and empower the women who wear her creations to approach their own journeys with the same hope, optimism, and certainty … that beauty and inspiration can be found around every corner.

During her HOF years, Ilaria brought home the first ever award for the company with her one of a kind Serafina necklace, winning the Best Haute Couture Design at the Las Vegas Couture Show 2015. Her beautiful designs have graced the covers of countless fashion publications around the globe, appeared in music videos, and are often seen on the Red Carpet with many of today’s biggest celebrities
