"At first, I created designs only for myself… Four months later, I decided to enter a jewelry design contest and I won second prize – a trip to study jewelry making in Italy!"

"Hola! I'm Alejandra Aceves. When I was two years old, I began to paint in watercolors because everyone in my father's family was an artist. I loved to paint with him. Then, when I was seven, my mother taught me to sew and I loved it. At first I made little purses that I sold to my neighbors. Then I began to make outfits for ice skating. I skated, but the costumes weren't sold here so I made my own. My friends were fascinated with my designs, so I made them for my friends, too.

"At the same time, I was studying business administration as well as art, which had always been a part of my life. In my spare time, I made all kinds of things. I started crafting jewelry just by chance. At first, I created designs only for myself. I've always liked to travel and on trips I'd buy gemstones and other objects. I also found inspiration in other countries. And this is how it all began.

"Four months later, I decided to enter a jewelry design contest and I won second prize – a trip to study jewelry making in Italy!

"I also learned a lot in Brazil. I learned different techniques like weaving and macramé, and not to be afraid to mix colors. This helped me develop a style of my own.

"You can be certain that each of my designs is crafted with love and passion."

On November 4, 2007, Alejandra won 1st and 3rd places at the Tahitian Pearl Trophy competition for her bracelet and earrings designs, respectively. She will be representing Mexico in the next stage of the international competition, which will feature designers from around the world. Alejandra's designs were selected for her ability to interpret feminine fashions, life styles, and customer's desires in the evolving world of fashion. The Tahitian Pearl Trophy is organized by G.I.E. Perles de Tahiti, a governmental agency in charge of promoting the country's cultured pearls. The 2005-06 competition featured over 6000 designers from 36 countries.
