TESS Earrings | 3" Flutter Drops | Abalone & Vintage Glass
As seen in HAMPTONS Magazine on the radiant Lauren Bush Lauren.
The TESS earrings are a breezy blend of beachside glamour and bohemian soul. Made with raw Abalone shell, each piece shimmering with natural iridescence and paired with rare, vintage Mallard Glass beads from the 1960s, these flutter drops catch the light like sea foam at golden hour.

Suspended on fine 14K gold-filled chain with premium tension-back ear wires, this design is whimsical, elegant, and impossibly easy to wear. Tribal meets Boho. Perfect for ocean air and sandy toes, or just the feeling of it.

Each Alexandria Black piece is a reverent expression of natural history and cultural legacy crafted from gemstones, crystals, fine metals, leather, feathers, bark, and antique textiles. Inspired by the primitive elegance of tribal adornment, ceremonial tools, ancient armor, and sacred ritual objects, these accessories carry the essence of protection, identity, and memory.

My creative process is rooted in an ethnological admiration for global cultures, and deeply informed by the textures of pottery, textiles, and natural materials. Fragrance is part of that ritual; each piece is accompanied by a seasonal aromatherapy blend, a sensory gift to ground your experience. Each smaller jewelry and accessory item is securely shipped within the Alexandria Black keepsake satchel - crafted entirely from repurposed materials like antique Metropolitan Opera programs, modern design drawings, Indian saris, past-season design swatches, and lighting gels.

Influenced daily by music, architecture, nature, and the magic of art; these designs are both personal and timeless. They are heirlooms in motion, meant to be worn with intention and passed on with love.
