Canadian-born, New York-based designer Alice Waese creates jewelry and apparel at the intersection of fine art and fashion. A trained artist with a background in sculpture, Waese launched her eponymous jewelry collection in 2011, which is celebrated for its raw, textural, and narrative-driven approach. Each piece is handmade in her studio, often carved from wax before being cast in precious metals like gold and silver, and set with ethically sourced stones. Her work is inspired by nature, literature, and a surrealist imagination, resulting in pieces that feel like personal artifacts or wearable sculptures with an organic, often unfinished quality.
