Meet the Designer

 

Hi, I am Alexandra, the founder and head designer of Vibes!

 About Me

I was born and raised in Nicaragua and moved to Charlotte, NC, in my late 20s. I inherited my curious and creative mindset from my mother, an amazing painter and crafter who spent her life creating beautiful things. Everything I do creatively is thanks to her!

I am a self-taught jewelry designer, abstract artist, and nature and street photographer. However, Vibes is my main passion. I started it in 2017 as a creative outlet, and during quarantine in 2020, I had the time to learn more about the business and new techniques. The more I learned and the more pieces I created, the more I loved it. I saw it as an opportunity to express myself and connect with people through my designs. My pieces are an extension of my personality.

 My Concept 

Vibes represents a fresh approach to everyday jewelry, offering handcrafted, eye-catching designs that inspire you to feel empowered, beautiful, and confident. Created and operated by a strong and independent woman, the brand presents a jewelry line celebrating what brings out the best in you, inspiring you to enjoy life, appreciate your inner beauty, and surround yourself with beautiful things because you deserve it!

I specialize in metalwork, high-quality gemstones, and crystals that cultivate positive energy, inspiring you to live in harmony with yourself, others, and nature. My intention is to create jewelry that makes you feel good.

Environmental conservation is another passion of mine. Therefore, my tags, labels, packaging, and jewelry displays are made from 100% recycled, degradable, and/or biodegradable materials. No plastic, resins, clay, or mass production. I also spread awareness about planet and wildlife conservation through some of my designs.

Part of my mission is to support local businesses and women-owned small businesses in developing countries. We buy our eco-friendly cotton jewelry pouches from a small women-owned business in India, and all of our metal findings, components, charms, and metal beads are made in the USA by TierraCast. Our precious metal supplier is in Los Angeles, CA, and our natural gemstones and crystals are manufactured in Cedar Park, TX.

I wouldn't be able to do this without all of you, so thank you for shopping small and supporting my dream!

I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I enjoy making them for you!

Love and light,

Alexandra
