The Story of Ryan Ryan

The Art of Jewelry. The Legacy of Ryan Ryan.

Ryan Ryan is an acclaimed jewelry designer whose work has graced Hollywood’s red carpets and luxury retailers worldwide. Known for his artistry and integrity, he creates timeless pieces that inspire trust — and turn heads.

Ryan Ryan — Designer. Visionary. Iconoclast.

Whether designing fashion jewelry, creating award-winning television costumes, or dressing celebrities for the red carpet, Ryan Ryan has built a career defined by beauty, individuality, and artistic intuition.

Ryan’s journey began unexpectedly, when his younger sister Pamela entered a beauty pageant without the gown or accessories she needed to shine. With limited resources but unlimited creativity, Ryan learned to sew, enlisted a friend’s help, and adorned her dress with 5,000 hand-sewn seed pearls and rhinestones. Pamela won — and Ryan’s lifelong path in fashion design was set.

By 1984, Ryan was stringing beads and crafting jewelry for friends when a regional buyer for the newly opened Nordstrom discovered his work. That meeting turned into orders for more than 40 stores and a 13-year partnership with one of America’s most iconic retailers.

In 1998, Ryan launched the Ryan Ryan Collection at Saks Fifth Avenue, where his refined, gemstone-driven designs reached a national audience. His work caught the eye of Hollywood stylists, adorning stars such as Keira Knightley, Lea Michele, and Katherine Heigl, and later appearing at the Kardashian-owned Dash Boutique.

Ryan’s artistry soon evolved into retail, with a jewelry and gift boutique in Palm Desert’s luxury El Paseo district, followed by a move to Indio — home of the world-famous Coachella Music Festival. The new location has become a hub for his loyal clientele and a creative, beautiful space for his ever-evolving designs.

Next, Ryan will be introducing a limited-edition collection of lab-created diamond jewelry, available exclusively at the Ryan Ryan store. Through every chapter of his career, one philosophy endures: Be honest with customers about how a piece looks on them. Build trust. Create relationships that last forever.
