Alex and Ani is an effortless mix of uptown elegance and downtown cool, ethnic chic and causal couture. Made to enhance one's own natural beauty Alex and Ani is hand crafted in the USA. Each piece in the Alex and Ani collection exudes its own unique style, creating trends rather than following them.
Carolyn Rafaelian
Carolyn Rafaelian, creator and designer of Alex and Ani, was born into a family of jewelers. Growing up in Rhode Island, the jewelry capitol of the world, she spent many hours in her father's factory, an experience that she still draws on today. Utilizing the family's massive archives of vintage stones, Swarovski crystals, and unique castings dating back to the 1940's, Rafaelian brilliantly turns the jewels of the past into present day gems effortlessly mixing uptown chic with downtown cool.
Alex and Ani, which is made in the USA, is named after her two daughters and features everything from feather earrings inspired by Lynrd Skynrd to spiritual medallions and, of course, the signature expandable wire bangle.
The expandable series, a corner stone of the Alex and Ani collection, utilizes an innovative patented and completely original technology that replaces traditional clasps with a sliding mechanism, making each piece adjustable. The signature expandable feature, available in everything from an expandable wire bracelet to an expandable chain necklace, allows everyone to have a piece of jewelry customized for a perfect fit.
Alex and Ani was created as a vehicle to enhance human consciousness. As the creator, Rafaelian continues to find innovative ways to design accessories, always looking for a way to add to the lives of every day people. With a growing reputation as a gifted designer and trendsetter, Rafaelian plans to expand her brand further into the lifestyle industry.
As alumna of the art and business schools at the University of Rhode Island and the American College in London, Rafaelian has successfully parlayed her entrepreneurial spirit and natural gift of style into a well articulated design expertise.
Alex and Ani is sold at specialty stores such as Fred Segal, Henri Bendel's and department stores nationwide including Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's.
