ABOUT

Making things by hand is the foundation of my approach and a reflection of my passion for artisan-made goods.

Alexia Roca is a self-taught designer reshaping the landscape of American jewelry and home accessories by redefining what handmade looks like in the 21st century. Alexia's first love, designing jewelry, is a natural evolution that stems from a lifelong interest in creative design. Alexia’s creative lineage goes back to her great-grandfather, a leather crafter from Lisbon, Portugal, her grandmother an accomplished hat maker and seamstress, and her father, a leather crafter, builder, and author. As a young girl, Alexia will never forget going to the New Market with her father in Society Hill, Philadelphia, where he sold his leather handbags, belts, and other accessories. 

Each collection Alexia designs is inspired by passion and a sense of feminine strength, which she pulls from her mother's classic, demure feminine style. Her unapologetic approach to the art of jewelry has garnered customers' attention since the brand’s inception in 2005. All handmade jewelry is made with responsibly sourced, genuine semiprecious gemstones with unique cuts, shapes, colors, gold-filled or gold-plated brass, and love.
