Izakov Fine Jewelry

Izakov Fine Jewelry is Roy and Ofir Izakov's Miami line of 14k gold Jewish jewelry, built on a family diamond business that began in Dallas in 1973.

Based: Miami, Florida
Since: 1973
Craft: 14k gold and diamond jewelry

Izakov Fine Jewelry is the Miami line of Roy and Ofir Izakov, a Jewish Israeli-American couple who design their collections together. At ModernTribe that means Star of David necklaces, rings and earrings, Hebrew Chai pieces, Ema necklaces and bracelets, and personalized Hebrew initial jewelry, made in Miami in solid 14k gold, much of it set with diamonds.

The diamonds came first. The family business began in Dallas in 1973 with the goal of becoming one of the country's leading diamond importers and wholesalers, and by the 1990s it was supplying diamonds to major big-box chains. The family also pioneered a solid star-shaped diamond that was set in championship rings for professional sports teams. Roy and Ofir, the second generation, moved the business from supplying stores and jewelers to selling finished pieces directly to customers.

Judaica and Hebrew jewelry is one of their specialties, and it shows in the details: baguette-set Chai rings, a diamond outline of the Land of Israel, a gold baby safety pin hung with Jewish charms. Both served in the Israel Defense Forces, and a portion of each purchase goes to nonprofits, including Israeli causes.
