The Art of Authenticity

Crafted with Purpose 
Each piece of jewelry I create is handmade by me, Alicia, in my Iowa City studio. I take great pride in crafting bespoke, limited-edition, and one-of-a-kind pieces, blending traditional techniques passed down from my father and elders with my unique vision. By honoring these methods, I preserve both my culture and craftsmanship with integrity and authenticity.

My Stones
The semi-precious stones used in my creations are responsibly sourced and carefully handpicked. I work closely with independent lapidarists from Idaho, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Arizona who cut and polish each stone locally, ensuring that every piece is as unique as the story it tells.

My Production
Protecting the environment is a priority for me and my family. I create with intention, striving to minimize waste by reusing and recycling whenever possible. I design using traditional methods and produce in limited quantities, a conscious choice that helps reduce excess waste. Most of my packaging is made from recycled materials, and every piece is handcrafted in my Iowa studio.

My Ethical Responsibility
As I continue to grow, I am committed to improving my carbon footprint and holding myself to the highest standards of clean production. My ongoing mission is to:

- Use recycled packaging
- Repair, not replace
- Reduce, reuse, and recycle whenever possible
- Hand-make each piece in the USA
- Incorporate recycled metals and materials into my accessories whenever feasible
