Alexis Bittar Jewelry Designer

Spring Lucite Collection
Alexis Bittar started designing jewelry in his East Village apartment eleven years ago. Inspired by Bakelite and Lalique glass, he began to hand carve, hand paint, and gild Lucite. His technique creates luminescent jewelry that is brilliant.
While selling his work on the streets of New York City, Alexis was discovered by the buyers for the Guggenheim Museum and Henri Bendel.

Stimulated by the intrinsic beauty of precious and semiprecious stones, Alexis designed a second line of distinctive gemstone jewelry. His innate ability to mix unusual colors into bold combinations is closely rivaled by an intuitive understanding of how to join distinct textures. As with other artists whose work is an expression of a singular and extraordinary vision, Bittar's pieces have become collectible.

This is what Giving Tree Jewelry had to say about Alexis and his jewelry:
Hot! Hot! Hot! We need to coin a new term. Alexis Bittar is a tour de force in the jewelry world. Unparalleled in style or creativity, we've carried Alexis' work for years, have the best prices and selection and are so proud of this amazing, prolific and totally trend setting designer. What inspiration we derive from him, in the fact that the sweetest, most gentle man, also happens to make the coolest, hippest jewelry we've seen anywhere!

You can spot his classic Lucite collection on any number of A-list celebrities, and his semi-precious line is hands down the best value for the most beauty we have ever found. It's an honor (and a blast!) to carry the many, many gorgeous designs of this man!

Quite a recommendation, don't you think?
