Jewelry and clothing designer Alzerina Gomes is best known for her creative designs utilizing Swarovski Crystals. Born and raised in the remote village of Portalzinho Garca on the island of San Antao, Cape Verde, Alzerina received her first sewing lessons from her mom at the age of four, waking up her life-long passion for creating beauty. Alzerina left Cape Verde for Paris in the early 1990 where she learned the craft of jewelry making while living in Paris. Alzerina fell in love with the Swarovski brand and it was at this time that the idea of becoming a jewelry designer blossomed.

In 1998, Alzerina left Paris for New York City, in 2005 she launched her own eponymous company, Alzerina Jewelry, which has grown to have a presence in New York, Los Angeles, Paris and Cape Verde. Elegant designs, enhanced by the use of Swarovski elements and her youthful Alzi line of contemporary bracelets, earrings and necklaces flaunt a craft and style as unique as the women, herself. The organic simplicity of Alzerina Jewelry sparkles with grace and sophistication. Alzerina Jewelry can be found in fashion magazines and on the sets of Warner Bros. and Disney productions. Numerous celebrities including Sharon Stone, Olivia Wilde, and Katheryn Winnick wear her jewels. Miss Universe 2017, Miss USA 2017 and Miss Teen 2012/13 are among her clients. Last year, Alzerina designs lit up Times Square when her products were featured on the NBC electronic billboard overlooking New York City's most famous tourist destination.

Alzerina’s hard work and efforts have been recognized well beyond fashion circles. The American Embassy, Praia, Cape Verde highlighted her accomplishments as a woman entrepreneur two consecutive years at the annual Cape Verde International Trade Fair (FIC). Alzerina was recognized as Women of Inspiration in October 2016, for an International Talk Show in Lisbon Portugal by Adoro Ser Mulher. She also won an award at La Jolla International Film Festival in July 2016 for her fashion skills. And in November of the same year, Alzerina was honored by the governor of the City Hall of Rome Italy, during a event in Rome with organization Kriol-Ita to help the Batista de Sousa hospital.

Alzerina received special recognition from the United States Congress for her contributions toward preserving Cape Verdean culture in the United States. She also is the recipient of 2018 Somos Cabo Verde (We Are Cape Verde), distinguished ‘Diaspora Award’. Alzerina continues to conduct workshops for disadvantaged teens and she has been asked to represent a U.S. initiative to further entrepreneurial skills and marketplace capability for women in emerging African countries.

Alzerina remains dedicated to her craft and is always expanding her ideas and trying to stay ahead of the trends. Visit her website at Alzerina.com to learn more.
