Handmade in Arizona..

April 23, 2019 By Alene Geed Leave a Comment

You’ve most likely seen this tag line on my jewelry designs. Did you ever wonder what handmade means? Here’s the official definition: made by hand, not by machine, and typically therefore of superior quality.

Each of my designs starts with metal sheet or wire. I use a variety of tools to texture, fold and mold the metal. Texturing hammers add subtle or bold finishes, depending upon the type chosen

Soldering (joining metal) is an important step in my processes. Here you see the sterling that has been soldered and shaped.. ready for the gemstones to be inserted.

When you purchase a handmade design you have chosen something to be treasured and passed along to future generations. These designs are all created with love and passion. This energy shines through each time you wear your one of a kind jewelry. What could be more special?

Alene has a gift for creating the perfect, unique piece of jewelry. Her ability to combine copper and sterling creates pieces of jewelry that are second to none. Alene then adds pops of color to create a piece that will call your name. Always eagerly await her new designs to see what new amazing piece will call my name.

After I purchased my first piece of jewelry from Alene…I was hooked. Her craftsmanship, detail and creativity is above and beyond. I will always look to her for gift ideas, and of course, treasures for myself too. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

I still have the first pair of earrings I bought from Alene and wear them frequently.  I could  almost open my own store with all the cuffs, earrings, and necklaces I own of Alene’s.  I admire and respect her talent.  It has been  wonderful to watch her jewelry progress over almost 20 years.  What a pleasure  to wear her talent.  Always compliments!!

Mary Slusser

I really enjoy wearing my ‘Alene’s Adornments’ spiral earrings. They’re exactly what I want and like in an earring: authentic materials, light weight and beautiful design. I look forward to adding the next item to my collection of Alene’s creations. I highly recommend shopping here if you want beautiful jewelry, along with great service!

I have bought several sets of earrings designed and made by Alene over the past few years. I am happy with the design and quality of all. Get many compliments when I wear them. also, once ordered the merchandise arrives on time.  Would highly recommend purchasing one of her designs.  Rating “5”.

I was introduced to Alene’s Adornments through a customer from work (grocery industry). I loved the unique pieces that Alene creates. I purchased a ring and received it gift wrapped and very quickly. The ring is one of my favorites and I receive nice comments when I wear it.
