After graduating with a BFA Fashion Degree from Parsons School of Design, Alina wanted to create design special to hold memories and pass down throughout generations - a heirloom.

She started in the industry in sales and as a buyer for White & Ivory Fine Jewelry. There she was exposed to the fundamentals of jewelry, the integrity of craftsmanship. Shortly after, she became the in-house custom designer at the family business.

Avalina only uses high quality, hand-selected materials and incorporates classic as well as unordinary gemstones and diamonds. We believe nothing should be overlooked or be sitting in the jewelry box. Every piece should be enjoyed on a daily basis or during special occasions.
