Hi! My name is Alessandra and I live in Torino, a lovely Italian town.
I am an architect and my first job is planning and house design, but my real passion, since I was a little child, are women's accessory and jewels, expecially every kind of outlandish and sparkling ones.
Many years ago I began to gather beads, pearls and other parts from old and vintage broken jewellery and to re-assemble some new jewels one of a kind for me and my friends.
Often enough I use poor materials for my creations (such as stones, pebbles, shells, sea glass or plastic beads)... sometimes I mix them with more precious supplies.
I love to improve every piece I create with my whimsical thoughts.
I also have a great passion for fashion dolls and vintage toys from the 70's.
Hi Alessandra. Just took your survey for the EST (keeping my fingers crossed for the prize!). :) I also posted about it and linked to it from my blog entry today. Hopefully it'll generate a few more responses, too! http://blog.ollieandjunebug.com
Ciao! Sono anche io Italiana (Roma), e anche io amo creare gioielli. Mi piace molto il tuo shop e soprattutto mi piacciono i colori delle tue creazioni.
Ciao!
