Why so quiet?

Because we have been working on some exciting news!

Designs by Alina launched seven years ago in Santa Barbara with a small line of one-of-a-kind fine jewelry. Two years in San Francisco gave birth to our core collection—an amalgam of the beach-casual feel of home and the city’s chic vibrance. We then partnered with the art community to create the 18K Gallery Collection. The 2020 lockdown did anything but shackle our creativity, spawning a collection of Belgian linen and Fortuny fabric luxury masks, the demand for which had me burning the midnight oil for months on end.

Be it a lustrous pearl, an exquisite piece of fabric, or a captivating thought—I am an octopus, tentacles reaching, feeling, exploring, eager to weave beauty from life’s abundant offerings. And so, with the pandemic thankfully losing steam, I am excited to announce that in addition to fine jewelry, Designs by Alina is now crafting a unique line of home accents and gifts, most of which will be made in our Santa Barbara studio. In support of fellow creatives, we will also feature a highly curated collection of few-of-a-kind pieces by designers we love.

As a homebody at heart and former architecture student, expanding Designs by Alina to include home decor feels like the most natural progression. To those of you who, over the years, have captured my essence by seeking interior design advice, and those who have supported my endeavor throughout, thank you from the bottom of my creative heart.

The best is yet to come…
