Over 70,000 people happily make Bermuda their home, with St. George’s laying claim to the highest population at about 2,000, while the capital of Hamilton is even smaller. A treasure trove of caves (such as the famous Crystal Caves), coves like Horseshoe Bay Beach, and striking seaside strolls are distributed throughout the island. Historical points of interest include The Royal Naval Dockyard, St. Peter’s Church, the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, Fort St. Catherine, Scaur Hill Fort, Admiralty House Park, and Fort Hamilton.

My work investigates tiny beautiful details found in our environment and transforms them into lasting treasures,” she explains. Alexandra’s fine jewellery collections incorporate diamonds, precious stones and birthstones into her truly unique designs; her one of a kind rings are offset by finely sculpted bands that reflect Bermuda textures. Her celebrated pink sand pieces – for which Alexandra has won numerous awards – are her interpretation of a bespoke Bermuda gemstone; the original idea having come to her in a dream about a frozen rock pool.
You can explore over 500 pieces of jewellery in her award winning Flagship Store & Studio on Front Street, Hamilton, where every piece is elegantly made entirely by hand. Alexandra employs a highly skilled team of Bermudian artisans and craftswomen who help bring her vision to life. You can step behind the linen drapes at the back of the store to visit the studio and see the process in action. “I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to have a team that shares my vision of bringing more beauty into the world. Our island paradise lingers with you leaves you yearning for more.”
