Alexandria Black jewelry are power pieces. Luxurious accessories & heirloom jewelry with versatility. I take inspiration from my body of work as well as studies & appreciation of art history, ethnology, color, textiles, fashion, couture, antiques, design, travel, architecture & music. Our designs are also heavily influenced by the ethos of nature & current events occurring here & around the globe. This research, as also in life, is a continual journey. Each design is created & produced with astute attention to detail, & love. The end result is a modern, industrial sculptural & historical design with an asymmetric edge.

This necklace is carefully crafted with large, ornamental, incongruent-shaped pieces juxtaposed against small, geometric color-filled ones creating a beautiful balance as it’s placed about your décolletage. It can move or be placed in countless ways for endless looks. The Nomadic Wrap contains incredibly vibrant gems: shiny and polished and others old, weathered and rutty from time. Each one of these beauties is bathed in rich jeweled tones colored from the earth. I've incorporated seductively hued stones with beads of the finest variety. The beads are carefully chosen for their antiquity and craftsmanship of their makers. Please note minor flaws, imperfections, or inclusions may appear within these hand-crafted beads & raw gems. It's one aspect of their inherent beauty.

Alexandria Black components & artifacts are purchased almost exclusively through conflict-free vendors & suppliers who liaise with them. They ethically source these "energetic" gemstones, crystals, & ancient periapts. Most come from talented artists who are aboriginal nomadic tribes people & refugees from countries all over the world. I combine a splice of these traditional & societal antiquities from differing cultures with one another. I believe they are a diverse and beautiful amalgamation of design that creates an opening for energetic balance.

Precious stone designs are accompanied by a digital file with an identifying list containing the scientific & rumored metaphysical energetic qualities and historical details contained within all of the gems & handcrafted beads in your piece.

Unique gift packaging! Most accessory and jewelry items are shipped securely inside our signature, keepsake storage satchel that is made with inimitable, repurposed materials. The current is an amalgamation of antique designer drawings, antique Indian sari, repurposed past season interior design fabric swatch books & colorful transparent lighting gels. This satchel will help protect your bbb design from damaging heat and light.

I have more images and specificities of size, quantities, and grades of all of the individual gemstones if you're interested. Most of the gems are of the highest quality AAA ratings.

One of my favorite things to do is to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC with my amazing son. He now has a love and fondness for the museum experience that is growing close to his mommy's.

. . . thank you for letting me share myself with you!
