OUR STORY

Hello,

Welcome to Alia & Mae Jewelry. I'm Alia, and Mae is my granddaughter. For more than 35 years, my husband James and I ran a small jewelry boutique in New York, pouring our hearts into every piece and every customer who walked through our doors. What started back then as simple work slowly became our life's story.

When Mae came along, everything changed. Watching her grow made me realize how quickly time moves, and how precious every moment truly is. I wanted to build something that could connect the past with the future: something that carried the care and craftsmanship we spent decades perfecting, but also the hope we hold for Mae's dreams.

Mae helps me whenever she can. She chooses stones, learns the details behind each design, and discovers that the best things in life take time and patience. Every piece we create is handcrafted with care, because to us, jewelry should mean something. It should carry strength, grace, and authenticity.

This has never been just a business. It's our way of honoring everything we've built over the years and passing it forward. It's where a lifetime of experience meets a new generation of dreams.

When you choose our jewelry, you're choosing more than something to wear. You're becoming part of our story: one shaped by love, resilience, and the belief that what's made with heart always matters.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you for supporting us.

Thank you for being part of what we've built, and what we're still building.

 

With all our gratitude, 

Alia & Mae Jewelry
