ginette ny

Founded in New York in 2002 by French designer Frédérique Dessemond, Ginette NY pioneered the concept of everyday fine jewelry. Raised in Le Corbusier’s modernist ‘Cité Radieuse’ in Marseille, Dessemond brought an architecturally-informed perspective to her work, creating delicate, minimalist pieces in 18k gold intended as 'second-skin' luxuries. The brand’s signature is its clean, linear approach, seen in its iconic disc motifs and understated monogrammed necklaces. Initially focused on pure gold, the collections later expanded to include diamonds, onyx, turquoise, and other natural stones, adding color and texture to the refined designs. Positioned between costume jewelry and traditional high jewelry, Ginette NY offers a modern, accessible take on luxury for an independent female audience. The brand has since expanded to include collections for men and children, maintaining its blend of Parisian chic and New York cool.
