Cluster Contemporary Jewellery Exhibitor | 2024
Alexandra Corzo is a Peruvian jewellery designer and art historian graduated from the Pratt Institute in NYC. Her sojourn in the jewellery world has taken her to work as a designer, jeweller, and teacher in NYC, Lima, Uganda, Paris and Lyon. Her designs are based on memories, history, poetry, and nature.
In 2019, sisters Alexandra and Joanna founded D’Corzo Jewellery, in their pursuit of creating an ethical jewellery brand that focuses on women’s empowerment, portrayed through their designs a story of beauty, ethics, style, high quality, openness, sisterhood and fun. To create a platform of positive social impact was pivotal in establishing their brand. Today they have established an international network with local artisans, professionals, and artists around Peru, Mexico, El Salvador, NYC and France. They strongly believe that through mutual collaboration and exchange they build a bridge of expansion, exposure, and growth.
