Daniela Alberts, the designer, started her career in the garment and textile field in Romania. Her philosophy regarding jewelry is simple:
All pieces should be made with high quality materials, paying special attention to the detail of each piece. Her understanding of garment design allows her to create pieces that fit any women's wardrobe for work or for play. Semi-precious stones, silver, and gold filled chains are used to create these pieces that are simple and elegant in design.
Daniela has also applied her eye for style and design to creating unique designs for her customers. Discerning customers can request customized pieces to fit their individual style. For weddings she can create one-of-a-kind pieces for the bride and bridesmaids to make that special day unique. She not only provides her customers with elegant pieces, her goal is to also educate customers on the quality of material used in her designs.

How to maintain your jewelry?
To make your jewelry last a lifetime, certain care should be taken in the wearing, cleaning and storage of each piece. Store your jewelry in a closed jewelry box or in velvet or cotton bags. Keeping each piece separated will prevent scratching of the stones and tangling of the chains.
Put on jewelry AFTER you are done with putting on lotion, perfume, hairspray and other beauty products. After you take jewelry off at the end of the day, wipe it with a soft tissue, or with clean alcohol to remove oils from your skin and lotion.
When not to wear your jewelry:
1. When you clean the house, or use cleaning products, remove jewelry. Chemicals you use at home may be safe for your skin, but not for your jewelry.
2. Jewelry should not be worn when swimming or showering.
What is Sterlig Silver?
Pure silver, like pure gold, is too soft to be durable, and must be mixed (alloyed) with other metals. Copper and zinc are preferred choices. They toughen the alloy while enhancing silver's bright natural sheen. Sterling Silver is 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper or zinc.
What is Gold Filled?
Gold filled, or gold overlay, is made by heat -and pressure- bonding a layer of 14K or 12K gold to a brass core ( Daniela Alberts is using 14K gold filled).
The benefits of gold gilled are:
- Karat gold covers the brass surface, making it tarnish-resistant.
- The value of the gold filled is greater than gold plated because gold filled has an actual layer of karat gold, not just a microscopic film.
- Gold filled jewelry is economical. Your customers enjoy the rich look of gold at a fraction of the cost.
