Our Story

“I love dainty and delicate, I find it refreshing in a world that is becoming more and more loud. Sometimes, a whisper is more powerful than a scream.”

- Guy Rozenstrich, Founder

Where We Started

Phoenix Roze was born in the historic neighborhood of New York City's West Village. Here, Guy Rozenstrich, a classically trained artist, and Stephen Hoerz, an entrepreneur passionate about sustainable luxury, transformed their shared vision into reality. In a small workshop, they began crafting jewelry that merged fine art with ethical craftsmanship, laying the foundation for what Phoenix Roze would become—a symbol of beauty, meaning, and responsibility.

"When I meet a client to design something for them, I come with an open mind. I listen to them and try to see if something catches my ear. It doesn’t have to be a word or a story, it could be a tone in their voice that distracts me from focusing. I start there. Creativity follows."
