Our Story
SHW Jewelry was founded by Lithuanian-born, American jewelry designer and certified diamond gemologist Urte Tylaite when she opened her store in New York City’s East Village in 2011.
The SHW collection moves away from antiquated traditions, reinterpreting timeless jewelry styles and viewing them through a contemporary lens. Featuring unexpected and exciting riffs on familiar jewelry designs, each piece is made for all genders with the intention of creating future heirlooms. By combining timeproven metalsmithing techniques with innovative technology, SHW continues pushing the boundaries of fine jewelry to craft forward-thinking accessories and one of a kind jewelry objects.
Urte Tylaite works in collaboration with a small team of expert jewelers to design and produce the SHW collection locally in New York City. SHW embraces the potential of the future by handcrafting each piece with lasting, quality materials that are sustainably sourced such as recycled 14k yellow, white, rose gold, platinum and .925 sterling silver. The collection features both lab-grown and reclaimed or ethically mined gemstones, sparking new life into forms that may otherwise be obsolete.
