Meet the maker
Hello there! I’m Alivia!
I want to introduce myself! I’ve always had a love for all things expressive and art related. My whole life I have felt called to create. The idea of creating something with my own two hands to exist throughout the world that make people feel, makes me so excited - nothing centers me more than the meditative flow that crafting jewelry brings me.
My first experience with silversmithing was when I was 15 taking a jewelry elective class in high school, which turned into more jewelry courses every year until I graduated. After high school I quickly forgot about jewelry making as I was told I needed to find something “practical” to study. After many failed attempts at picking majors I had had zero interest in, I dropped out of college. I wasn’t sure what was next but I trusted that it would come to me eventually.
Throughout the years I developed a love for nature, animals, hiking, cooking, hula hooping, traveling and holistic healing. I never lost my desire to create, I explored different mediums, searching for the one that felt right. I find it a little silly that my ability to create brings me happiness and belonging, however I feel so lucky for this reality to exist. In 2019 I started seeing people sharing their silversmithing journeys online. My interest was sparked, I felt inspired, and I thought “I can do that!”. A thought that would be stuck in my brain for the next few years until I decided to do something about it because I was afraid to fail. A sweet friend once told me “being vulnerable and open to whatever is coming can only be of benefit” something I try to remind myself often.
In 2022 Earth Love Adornments was born and I took a leap of faith and bought all my beginner silversmithing tools. I would then spend the next year honing in on my skills and building my business. I am dedicated to creating unique pieces using natural materials such as sterling silver, copper, hemp and genuine gemstones. I now sell my creations online and in person at local vendor events in Michigan.
A reminder to get lost, love and trust/follow your inner knowing.
