Ilaria Lanzoni, HOF Jewelry Designer
Italian native Ilaria Lanzoni joined Hearts On Fire in early 2012, bringing 17 years of design expertise to her new role with the diamond jewelry brand. Prior to joining the Hearts On Fire team, Lanzoni was the Senior Designer for Garrads Fine Jewelry (working closely with acclaimed designer Stephen Garrard) in London, England where she worked on a wide variety of design projects. Additionally, Lanzoni designed for Asprey Fine Jewelry in London and helped launch a multitude of their collections.
Since joining Hearts On Fire, Ilaria has been crucial to the brand's growing recognition around the world, designing four signature collections - Illa and Copley, which launched in June 2012, and Atlantico and Lorelei, which have just launched in June 2013. All four collections expand Hearts On Fire's fashion-focused foray, while also continuing to expand the classic and timeless feel of their diamond jewelry.
