I have been hard at work lately designing new fusion jewelry pieces with antique trade beads found at Ilha de Moçambique and Ghana, semi-precious stones, pearls and silver. My goal is to make massive amounts of jewelry in my last few months here in Maputo and try to sell nearly everything prior to heading back to the US.
If you are in Mozambique and interested in viewing or purchasing an Alexandra Amaro original, please email alexandra@alexandraamaro.com or leave a comment here. I do custom-designed pieces and have a small inventory on-hand to show. I will also be doing several fairs and events prior to September, so please leave a comment or send an email with your contact info if you'd like to be notified.

If you are outside Mozambique, you can purchase pieces at my Etsy site here. New pieces will be added to the site after September.

hi,
your work is beautiful. at the risk of sounding tacky, what is the price range for the necklaces? they appear very delicate. i was just asking since if price was not an issue i would take them all, :). hope the fairs go well.

~MPM - Not a tacky question at all, just a difficult one to answer. All of my pieces are one-of-a-kind and therefore each one has a specific price according to rarity of materials, labor intensity, etc.
In general, the necklaces I do for the Mozambican market start at around US$40 and go through about US$150 for the most complex designs.
I'd love to show you some of my work and, perhaps, do some custom designs with you. You can email me at alexandra@alexandraamaro.com or at the email on this blog.
Thanks!
These are amazing! I hope you'll stock up on beads to bring to the US when you move!
