The principal designer of Amalia Designs, Andrea Slappey, draws inspiration from life experiences to create sophisticated jewelry with an aesthetic that connects generations. Slappey finds crafting her creations to be an inspired process and her work often expresses subtle symbolism motivated by her surroundings and the materials at hand.
One of my favorite pieces is the XO Band Ring (also part of my personal collection!). The rings are inscribed with X’s and O’s to symbolize wholeness and partnership.
As an avid traveler, I also love The Traveler’s Lariat - which Andrea designed specifically for The Traveler’s Collection. The necklace includes three different sets of interchangeable gemstones. A 3-in-1 necklace to match every destination.
P.S. Hoping to receive something extra special for Valentine’s Day this year? Drop a not-so-subtle hint to your significant other by forwarding them your favorite pieces from Amalia Designs!
