The pieces you see here are my designs, but each is the result of many collaborations.  Jewelry is a complicated art form; perfection and functionality are often best realized by combining the skills, talents and ideas of a variety of people—not least of which are the clients who bring their own specific needs and desires to the process.  I love my work.  I feel honored every time one of my pieces is chosen to celebrate some happy occasion, every time I get to engage with a client to create a new, significant and personal symbol of a major moment in their life.  Having worked in this field for many years I take pride and pleasure in finding the very best and most effective way to turn jewelry ideas into jewelry realities.  And I am blessed to have, as my inspiration and raw materials, the amazing and wonderful crystal forms that constitute the metals and gem stones found on our planet.  In honor and respect for the planet, we at Alix & Company source all gemstones as ethically as possible and use recycled metals.
