MEET ALETHA
THE JOURNEY BEGINS
THE JOURNEY BEGINS
“Worldly creations with stories to tell” - a concept born in Aletha’s enduring fascination with far-away places. Life choices and careers have led to her exploration of 7 continents and 90 countries in half a century of international travel. Ultimately, her adventures have led to her globally inspired handcrafted jewelry.

THE JOURNEY BEGINS
Throughout her travels, Aletha's admiration of culturally unique jewelry materials and designs has inspired her "worldly" personal collection. Working in Ghana, where glass beads prevail, she happened on an innovative jewelry designer who mixed glass with gemstones from outsde Ghana. And so a dream was born - Aletha would one day blend cultures in handcrafted jewelry of her own design.

CREATING
For nine years, Aletha, now jewelry designer, has been creating handcrafted jewelry, using her growing travel trove for materials. Each piece represents at least two countries or regions, and unlikely combinations offer stunning results. Focusing on quality, Aletha personally constructs every creation in her globally inspired collection.
‘Adornments by Aletha’ (AbyA) are one-of-a-kind "with stories to tell."
