Big Moves & New Sparkles: 2025 in Review at Irina Designs
Dec 31, 2025
Dear Friends,
As we wrap up 2025, I’m looking back with so much gratitude for this community. This year was one of the biggest yet for Irina Designs. From crossing borders to launching new collections, every moment was shaped by your incredible support.
Our 2025 Highlights:
From Toronto to St. Petersburg: We officially traded the Ontario snow for Florida sunshine! It has been a joy settling into the vibrant St. Pete community.
The "Whimsical Garden Collection: Inspired by the lush greenery of the south, I launched this new collection to bring nature’s delicate beauty into wearable art and your jewelry box. The launch was extra special, as I modeled my own designs in a lookbook we photographed right here at the beautiful Florida Botanical Gardens.
New Gift Ideas: We expanded our Gift Collection with one-of-a-kind pin brooches and ornaments, perfect for adding a handmade touch to any outfit or home.
Creative Workshops: I loved meeting many of you in person at my studio in Bay Pines and St Pete Beach. Launching our beading workshops was a highlight of my year—there is nothing like seeing my students’ creativity come to life. You can browse and find tickets to our creative workshops on Eventbrite
Art & Craft Shows: It was an honor to participate in local juried Art & Craft Shows with a new display design and even see Irina Designs featured in Tampa Bay News.
A Jewelry Giveaway: We celebrated the spring season with our most popular Facebook event of a $300 Spring Jewelry Giveaway that brought an extra sparkle to three lucky winners.
Fresh Look: To celebrate this new chapter, we debuted a brand-new logo that reflects the evolving spirit of our one-of-a-kind treasures.
Looking Ahead to 2026
The move to Florida has sparked so much fresh inspiration. I can’t wait to show you the new design elements and colors I’m working with for the coming year. Thank you for being part of this journey. Wishing you a season that sparkles with the brilliance of a hand-cut gem! May your holidays be bright and filled with extra special memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
Happy New Year 2026!
With love and gratitude,
Irina.
