Cynthia Rybakoff Modern Classic Jewelry | New York City

The very essence of a native New Yorker, Cynthia entered the fashion industry making bespoke jewelry for Isaac Mizrahi and launching her first collection in 1987. Her designs attracted a cult following and appeared on the runways of New York's premier designers, including Bill Blass and Oscar De La Renta. Cynthia Rybakoff jewelry was carried in top retailers including Barney's, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, and graced the pages of leading fashion tomes of the late 80's and early 90's. Something of a phenomenon in the ever changing fashion industry, Cynthia has remained not just relevant, but at the forefront of the industry, designing jewelry for herself and others, including corporate stints at Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger and a collaboration with Club Monaco. Cynthia re-established her signature brand in 2007, evolving her organic style to the sleek Modern Essentials she's known for today. A favorite brand with fashion forward jewelry lovers, Cynthia Rybakoff jewelry can be purchased online or by appointment at her studio showroom.

Susan Lucci, the queen of daytime TV, played Erica Kane on the long-running soap opera All My Children from 1970 to 2011.

Savvy was one of those ‘80s magazines written for working women: big careers, big shoulder pads, and even bigger earrings.

From the archive: glass bead and gold-leaf clip earrings, 1989.

Not every day needs a stack of stones.

Some days you just want to throw on a chain or two, with not much else to think about.

Links at the neck, at the ear, and a delicate link ring cast in solid metal.

Nowhere to be. Or somewhere to be, with less effort.

STYLE FILE \ Curated Chaos: How Eclectic Dressing Defines Modern Style

True style isn’t focused on a single era. It’s about editing them together.

Three pieces from three different collections, spanning four decades of design. A hand-cast cuff from my past that pays homage to ancient Bronze Age culture. A pair of bohemian faceted pebble earrings with hand-cut stones from my time working with stonecutters in India. A contemporary classic beaded necklace with a sophisticated pattern that’s all about balance and polish.

The most interesting jewelry boxes are a living archive: heirloom pieces, older designs, and fresh additions, worn together.

1 - Earrings, necklace, and cuff, designed over the course of 1994 to 2024
2 - Pebbled Diamond Earrings, designed 2018
3 - Black Onyx Balance Necklace and bracelet, designed 2024
4 - Accessories Magazine feature, 1993
