A jewelry collection inspired by textile patterns

The herringbone pattern found in woven textiles became the initial inspiration for this collection. To achieve this effect in metal Alexia uses cross-peen hammer to individually texture bars of metal. The pieces are then cut to length and inlayed in silver enclosures of various shapes and sizes. The copper offers a rich and warm reflective surface that patinas beautifully as the jewelry is worn, highlighting the textural effect of the hammer-work. 

This collection is available on Alexia’s Etsy shop

Inlaying a Cufflink collection 

Alexia started making cufflinks for her father when she first learned jewelry making at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Over the years she has developed a variety of inlay techniques using an array of materials like hardwood, hand-textured copper pieces and cement to create an exciting collection of original contemporary cufflinks, a staple in men’s jewelry.
