Alari Design Jewelry Studio - Where Shining Rings Are Made by Dirty Hands
I've always been a creator. From my early days of beading, photographing, crocheting, and designing, I've been on a journey of artistic exploration. Now, as a full-time jewelry artist in my third career, I've discovered my true peace and joy.
Jewelry is one of mankind's earliest forms of art. I take immense pride in joining this lineage of craftspeople, helping both myself and others express individuality through beautiful adornment.
My journey as a professional jewelry maker began in 2010, starting on the craft show circuit, working 1-3 shows a week. By 2015, I transitioned to online full-time selling on both Etsy and Amazon Handmade. Seven years and hundreds of thousands of sales later, I'm thrilled to open the Custom Design Studio for my local Tehachapi customers and my vast online clientele..
What Makes Alari Design Jewelry Studio Unique?
Unlike most jewelry stores, we don't stock ready-to-buy pieces. Instead, we offer a few hundred prototype pieces for you to explore, along with thousands more in our Computer-Aided Design system. This approach reduces overhead, allowing us to create truly one-of-a-kind pieces for you at a more affordable price.
When you visit our store, you won't be greeted by a sales associate but by an actual jeweler, likely with dirty or freshly washed hands, ready to assist you with your repair or new piece.
We began as a production shop, focusing on made-to-order pieces for our online customers, which constituted 99% of our business. While we've always handled local repairs and custom orders, most of our sales and production were dedicated to our online customers.
With hundreds of thousands of sales and tens of thousands of positive reviews, our Etsy store ranks among the largest in the jewelry category. Being in the top 25 out of perhaps a million shops has required hard work and a commitment to personal and dedicated customer service.
With our design service, we aim to bring that same level of service to Tehachapi, as well as to our online customers. Unlike many jewelers who have plenty of jewelry to sell but rarely make or repair it themselves, we stand by our creations with a free lifetime warranty.
All of my jewelry's roots start with the dirty hands that craft it, right here in Tehachapi, California.
