Check out the brand new Three Rivers Collection for Navona Handmade! We found so much inspiration in Pittsburgh, from Fallingwater to Randyland to the Andy Warhol Museum. Our new collection is fun and quirky, and we're so excited about it!

Here are a few shots from last nights's pop-up shop during the Marie Forleo book tour for her brand new self-help book Everything is Figureoutable. Thank you to Bela Shehu from NINOBrand and Karin Copeland for bringing us all together! I had a table set up with all of my Christine Alaniz Designs jewelry, as well as a carefully curated selection of Navona Handmade goods available for sale.

I recently created a custom sterling silver baptism bracelet for this little lady. Her name is engraved in a feminine, swirling script font and we added a tiny cross at the end to signify that this was in commemoration of her baptism day. I love the picture from my client, showing Alexandra wearing her new jewelry!
