The CHARLOTTE earrings capture the spirit of tribal elegance with a bohemian edge. Featuring antique, hand-forged bell charms mounted on embossed bails, each pair tells a story of nomadic life, femininity, and ancestral beauty. These fluttering bell charms originate from the Kuchi and Turkmen tribal women of the East, and date back approximately 60–80 years. Traditionally part of a woman’s dowry, they once adorned those living in mountainous regions, migrating across harsh and beautiful terrain. Their gentle jingle serves as a subtle spiritual cleanser - protective and powerful. Repurposed here with care, they evoke a timeless warrior-poet energy.

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.
