ABOUT THE JEWELRY






ALICIA'S STORY
Timeless. Feminine. Elegant. Made in Northern California, Alicia Van Fleteren jewelry is distinct, and clearly recognizable. Jewelry artist, Alicia Van Fleteren, designs vibrant, imaginative pieces that reflect her singular focus on designs that are sophisticated and elegant with a bohemian edge. Each original design organically complements everything from casual to evening wear. By creating unusual, limited edition collections she hopes her jewelry transcends stylistic trends.
The artisan jewelry is finely wrought from an eclectic variety of high-quality materials -- precious and semi-precious gemstones and pearls, mixed with leather, silk, linen, silver, gold. Each hand-beaded design is beautifully distinct and durably crafted to stand the test of time.
Being both artistic and practical, the career change was natural for Alicia. As a result, her business has flourished. Alicia Van Fleteren jewelry began with a small group of loyal clients, but the demand for her limited edition pieces has quickly increased.
Alicia’s source of inspiration is limitless. She finds inspiration from within herself and from the environment—where she is always finding new color combinations and shapes. Her collections are characterized by creativity and elegance, and also from her eye for putting together gemstones and metals in a creative, elegant way.
Just as Alicia has evolved as an individual, so has her jewelry line. Her talent and eye for design has naturally led to collections that are more sophisticated and cohesive than ever before.
Alicia passionately believes in giving back to her community. She supports many local charities and participates in many fundraising efforts. Some of the organizations that have been aided through her jewelry fundraising events are -- Art in Action, San Mateo Family Services, Maine Coon Adoptions, Susan G. Komen Foundation, Toys for Tots of San Mateo County, Foothill Auxiliary, and Santa Clara and San Mateo County schools and programs.
When not designing in her studio, you can find Alicia on the tennis court, looking for inspiration in nature, or hanging out with her hubby and her orange tabby cat.
