A Rising Star
By Doug Singer
Growing up in Cape Verde with a well-known fashion designer for a mother, Alzerina Gomes was exposed to all sides of the industry from a very young age. Her inspiration to start her own clothing line at the age of 14 was indicative of the passion that she has as an artist. She soon began to design jewelry for other artists, musicians, actors, and an influential clientele on the islands of Cape Verde.

A connoisseur's guide to the good life.
After an eight year stint in Paris, she headed to New York City where she created her own label and perfected her craft. Her dedication to beauty, elegance, and femininity is reflected in her jeweled creations. She draws inspiration from her clients’ style and sensibilities and designs each piece individually. Her creations emerge as art and are treasured by those fortunate enough to have her work in their collection.
Although mostly known for her intricately crafted jewelry, she is also recognized for her line of intimate jeweled lingerie. Designed especially for
the fashionably bold, the line features bra and panty sets made of thin chains embedded with colorful Swarovski crystals. Epitomizing style and a feminine grace, the lingerie is considered “couture” due to its unique and distinctive quality an craftsmanship.
