I am a goldsmith and jewellery designer and I have the great privilege to apprentice with my father Alfonso, a master goldsmith and one of the oldest goldsmiths in Vancouver. You can see his incredible work here.
Although I have been making jewellery for well over ten years, I still call myself an apprentice as jewellery making is a life long journey.
I work with silver and gold and all sorts of stones. I design and make each piece of jewellery with great care in New Westminster, British Columbia.
Although I can provide you with all new materials, I specialize in making custom pieces using people's old jewellery. My favourite part of the jewellery-making process is watching my clients re-fall in love with the old memories that live on in their new piece of jewellery. And for those who don't want to relive old memories, I make them something they can make new memories in!
I am a certified Graduate Jeweller CJAGJ.
“I took a whole bunch of old jewelry to Alicia for her to create a new ring for me. There was a lot of stones to work with and she created the most gorgeous ring ever. Alicia is so professional, creative and simply a pleasure to work with. I loved how she included me in the process from start to end. I highly recommend her.”
“Lucy loves her beautiful new ring and the way that you made the project feel so personal. Including us in the design process, helping us chose the stone, and showing us the progress along the way, really makes the ring feel like so much more than just a piece of jewellery. We were also impressed that the final cost was below your estimate. For us, there is no comparison with anything we have ever seen in a store – we really can’t understand why more people do not have custom designed and crafted jewellery. ”
