Where craft, heritage, and modern design meet
Christmas has a way of turning our thoughts toward gifts that feel genuine, things that carry a story, a human touch, and a sense of meaning. In the heart of Xàbia’s historic centre, Nina Alexandra Jewellery has become a place where those stories are shaped in gold and silver.
Nina’s approach is rooted in over 20 years of goldsmithing experience, blending traditional hand-skills with contemporary design shaped by her background in graphic design. Her studio boutique is an intimate space where visitors can see the process up close: molten metal being transformed into elegant silhouettes, gemstones chosen one by one, and designs sketched with the client’s life and travels in mind.
Handcrafted pieces inspired by a life lived between Canada and the Mediterranean
Nina’s work often draws on architecture, travel, textures, and memories: pieces that feel grounded in place but personal enough to become wearable mementos.
She creates a curated collection of rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelets, crafted in gold and silver, each with the subtle irregularities and softness that only come from working by hand.
Her clients also come for her bespoke services:
- redesigning heirloom Jewellery into something modern and meaningful
- crafting custom engagement and celebration pieces
- offering her Gold-for-Gifts recycling program, where old gold is tested, weighed, and transformed into credit toward a new design
These offerings make her boutique a welcoming space for anyone wanting something thoughtful, whether a holiday gift or a personal milestone.
Craftsmanship that feels personal
Handmaking Jewellery is slow, deliberate work. It’s the curve of a bezel shaped with a file, the glow of metal freshly annealed, the final polish that brings everything to life. These small gestures of craft give each piece a sense of presence; something machine-made Jewellery simply can’t imitate.
Made in tiny studio batches or completely custom to the wearer, Nina’s pieces are designed for everyday comfort yet built to be passed on. They’re understated, refined, and filled with quiet character; the kind of gifts that feel intimate and lasting.
A studio built on connection
More than a boutique, Nina Alexandra Jewellery is an invitation; to slow down, to appreciate the beauty of process, and to choose gifts that carry meaning long after the season fades.
For Nina, jewellery isn’t only about adornment. It’s about the memories that become part of the metal: travels, family stories, love, beginnings, reinventions.
This Christmas, she opens her studio doors to those looking for something crafted with intention and a sense of place; pieces shaped by hand, heart, and a life devoted to the art of goldsmithing.
