NY NOW – featuring i seira jewelry – Gem Gossip
Today we’re taking a look at i seira jewelry, a modern, sculptural brand that enchanted me immediately. Designer behind the brand, Alexa Horton, has a background which is anything but ordinary—she trained as a dancer and an architect, while also immersing herself in the worlds of art and design. These influences shape every piece of jewelry she creates. Her work is guided by intuition and a sense of quiet clarity, evolving along with her artistic journey. The name i seira—Greek for “a series” or “a catalog”—reflects her deep connection to her roots. When she first started making jewelry, she naturally looked to her Greek heritage, the earliest cultural influence of her childhood, making it the perfect place to start anew. Each piece is crafted in 22k yellow gold, with the most beautiful buttery hue.
