Digby & Iona
Digby & Iona’s Brooklyn-based founder, Aaron Ruff, has always been a craftsman with a penchant for artistry and construction. Following in his father’s footsteps, Aaron started out as a carpenter and cabinetmaker, before discovering his true craft and passion in jewellery by chance after taking a class while studying furniture design at Parsons. While enjoying the familiarity and technique of creating furniture, he found a more intimate connection with constructing objects that people could wear and cherish – a quality evident in each of his well-crafted pieces. Taking inspiration from history, literature, nature, and tools of necessity, and drawing inspiration from a childhood fascination with exploration, Aaron’s jewels are as playful as they are refined.
