Alicia has always had a strong interest and talent for jewelry design. In 2002, she left her position in financial services to pursue her life’s passion. Alicia stopped commuting to her corporate job in San Francisco and instead set-up a jewelry design studio in her home in San Carlos, California.
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 demand for her pieces quickly increased. Even as her business has grown, however, it is important to Alicia to hand select all of her materials and personally design each piece.
Inspiration for Alicia’s collections comes from her eye for putting together gemstones and metals in a creative, elegant way. More importantly, however, the knowledge that her designs make you feel beautiful is her motivation to continuously push her creativity to new heights.
Just as Alicia has evolved, so has her jewelry line. Over the last few years, Alicia has come into her own as an artist and as a woman. She has a clear understanding of who she is, what you want, and therefore what Alicia Van Fleteren jewelry is. Alicia’s talent and eye for design has naturally led to collections that are more sophisticated and cohesive than ever before. To reflect this transformation, in 2010, the business name changed from Little Dot Designs to Alicia Van Fleteren.
Alicia is very involved in the community and strongly believes in giving back. She supports many local charities such as Art in Action, San Mateo Family Services, Main Coon Adoptions, and San Mateo County Schools.
You can find Alicia either on the tennis court, working in her jewelry studio, traveling in search of the perfect gemstones, or spending time at home with her wonderful husband and adorable orange tabby cat.
