Our work

I have a growing capacity for various types of production and finishing. I marry 3d printing and sand casting, electroform, cnc engraving/cutting, artisan plating and basic bench techniques to produce good solid products in copper, brass, silver, gold and gold-filled materials. I can artisan plate in copper, silver, gold, rhodium, gunmetal and various colors in ceramic. Every piece we produce is fabricated here in our shop. My studio is public and I welcome visitors.

Our story

I have a jewelry studio inside a retail store. I do benchwork, electroforming, sand casting, CNC Engraving/Cutting, and artisan plating. I have a brick and mortar retail, online retail and wholesale business. I pride myself on top rate personal customer service.

When I design jewelry, I pay attention to function as well as form. Much of my jewelry seems rather simple in construction but much energy has been put into ensuring the piece “works" - earrings need to hang right, pendants need to lay right and everything has to be durable.

I enjoy making rustic (organic) type jewelry. Much of what I make falls into that category. If you cannot see the "hand" of the maker on a piece of jewelry I find it uninteresting.

The artisan plating and expertise in creating dainty silver and gold pieces sets Alari Design apart.

Alari Design has provided me with hammered copper rings since I first opened my shop. By having Alari Design handle this step of the creative process, I am able to focus my time & efforts on the design and style of my rings. His work is always perfect. The rings are beautiful and sized correctly. I can tell he pays close attention to detail. He offers great wholesale prices. He is willing to adapt to what you need. I am so glad I found him & I will continue using him to help me with my business!
