Grace Winfrey founded her namesake fine jewelry collection on the belief that what we choose to adorn ourselves with is deeply personal. Jewelry can reveal a love of color, a fascination with the unexpected, or simply an instinct for something beautiful.
Inspired by Home, Handcrafted in New York
Inspired by home and handcrafted in New York City, Grace Winfrey Fine Jewelry brings together exceptional craftsmanship with an expressive point of view. Bold color, intricate stonework, and unexpected details define pieces designed not just to be worn, but to be noticed, collected, and loved.
After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, Grace moved to New York City to pursue her Graduate Gemologist degree from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Her relationship with stones continued beyond traditional gemology, and she also became a certified crystal healer, deepening her appreciation for the scientific and intuitive qualities of the natural materials with which she works.
Grace went on to work alongside Meaghan Flynn of Necessary Excess, serving as showroom and operations manager and gaining experience with some of contemporary fine jewelry's most distinctive independent brands. During this time, she developed lasting relationships with jewelers, artisans, stone setters, and other members of New York's jewelry community.
In April 2023, Grace brought these influences together to create Grace Winfrey Fine Jewelry, a collection rooted in the creative traditions she grew up with, interpreted through a point of view entirely her own.
Behind the Designs
Every Grace Winfrey piece begins with a hand drawn sketch. From there, the design is translated into a digital rendering and carefully refined, adjusting proportions, placement, and details until the piece feels just right. A wax model is then printed for casting before the design passes into the hands of trusted New York City artisans, jewelers, and stone setters.
Grace works closely with skilled artisans she has cultivated relationships with since her time at GIA, sourcing exceptional materials and preserving the human touch behind every piece. The process demands extraordinary precision, with certain pieces featuring more than 3,000 individually hand set stones. Dozens of artisans are involved in the creation of a single design, and we take pride in knowing the hands that bring each one to life.
The result is jewelry defined by imagination, extraordinary craftsmanship, and an unmistakable point of view. Richly detailed, unexpected, and distinctly Grace Winfrey.
