Collection: Terra Nostra

If you met me in Boston, MA, you probably know me by TERRA NOSTRA JEWELRY (Terra Nostra means "Our Earth" in Latin). This was the name of my first jewelry store, where I started creating my very first beaded jewelry line. It was a true love story, where the doors opened not only to unforgettable friendly customers, but also to a world of possibilities.

When I moved to Charlotte, NC. in 2017, I took a plunge into a full-time career as an artist and shifted my focus from beading into the alchemy of metalsmithing. This was the birth of Alex a Mano. Recognizing that my experience as a metalsmith has influenced my Terra Nostra designs, it now makes sense to merge the two brands into the same website.

Keeping my first love, all Terra Nostra products can be found now in this collection. 

Inspired by Nature and crafted by hand, each piece of the Terra Nostra Collection reflects a classy style with a bohemian aesthetic. Wire-wrapped gemstones, crystal clusters, copper and earthy tones are some of the characteristics that give Terra Nostra its unique flair.

All the pieces in this collection are one of a kind, but if you see a style you like, I could probably make you something similar.
