About Me:: Gia Fragalli is a seed that has been growing for a long, long time. I am a daughter of jewelery designers when the proper denomination was gold and silversmith, or jeweler. I grew up around gold and diamonds, and was never very interested in all that my parents were doing.

We are a mother and daughter team of jewelry designers, we especially love working with gemstones and metals. We love mixing precious and semi-precious metals and we only use natural stones on our silver jewelry, there is also a collection with Jacaranda Wood (from Brazil).

When we do beaded jewels, we just loooove the Swarovski Crystals!

We have a wide variety of items and also do custom jewelry orders of just about any kind. So if you're looking for something specific, ask away and we can probably create it for you.

In a way of helping our environment, we can reuse any old silver or gold that you may already have and would like to transform into something new. This is called Dirty Gold or Silver Jewelry.

We moved to the US when I was 13 and when I was 16 my mother and I moved to NY, great age to be in NY, then I went off to college in Brazil, where I was born.

While I was studying Marketing and Advertising, I started to take interest in photography and graphic art... all the while thinking it had nothing to do with jewelery. I finished school and moved to London, and worked in film productions for a long time.

When I returned to Brazil, I started taking jewelery classes to relax... something to do.. bench time... and yet I still thought that had nothing to do with what my parents did. Then one day I realized: I was designing jewelery and I was selling jewelery... so I guess we become our parents after all!

Now back in NY, where I consider to be where MY heart is, mom and I are taking the business to the next step. Everything you see here is handcrafted by our own little 2 hands (4 in this case), and with a lot of love. We are very particular and pay very close attention to details.

We love to do wire designs, and imagine who would wear them... I'm sure all of our creations will find good homes!
