Workshops & Lessons

Our workshops are a few hours at the bench in Hila's studio — you pick a project, she walks you through it, and you leave wearing something you actually made. Lessons go deeper: one-on-one or small-group sessions where you learn the real techniques at your own pace. And if you're celebrating something — a birthday, a bachelorette, a team that deserves better than another happy hour — we'll build a private event around your group.

The Studio

About Hila & Alumia

Designed by Hila. Handmade in Maryland. Made with meaning.

🎨
Hila's Story

The Artist Behind the Work

Hila arrived from Israel to Maryland in 2021, bringing more than a decade of jewelry design experience — and a conviction that meaningful objects should be accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy.

She founded Alumia with a single question: why does symbolic, well-crafted jewelry have to cost $2,000 minimum? Alumia exists to close that gap — original designs, studio-finished quality, from $85.

Every piece begins with Hila's original design and the question she asks every customer: "What do you want to carry with you?"

Our Process

How It's Made

✏️

Designed by Hila

Every design begins as Hila's original sketch, drawn from symbolism, mythology, and the personal stories of clients.

🏭

Made in Maryland

Every piece is handmade in Maryland — designed, carved, cast, and finished by hand.

Finished in Maryland

Gold plating, stone setting, polishing, and quality inspection happen in our Savage Mill studio.

The Alumia Jewelry Warranty

Fine jewelry is meant to last — so we keep yours like new. Your warranty covers re-plating for gold-plated pieces, re-polishing for silver, and repairs within reason (a bent band, a loose stone, a worn clasp). Send it in and we make it right.

Add it to any piece for $9.99, or cover everything you own for $9.99/mo or $99.99/yrincluded free on the Aura & Halo tiers.

All warranty work is done by hand in Maryland. Excludes loss, theft, and damage beyond reasonable wear.
The Halo Heirloom

Once a year, something in solid gold.

Most months are silver and gold-plated — wearable, meaningful, everyday. But Halo members receive something rarer: a solid 10–12K gold heirloom piece, cast and finished in studio, made to be kept and passed on.

It's the kind of piece that usually costs a month's rent at a fine jeweler. Here, it's simply part of belonging.

10–12K
Solid gold heirloom · once a year

Every membership includes

Meaning, not filler

Every piece is symbolic and handmade — chosen for intention, never to pad a box.

Your metal, your way

Tell us your tone and any sensitivities. Everything is nickel-free and kind to wear daily.

Total flexibility

Skip, pause, swap tiers, or cancel anytime from your account. No contracts, no fees.

First in line

Priority access to new designs, seasonal drops, and the Naxus Set before anyone else.

Keepsake packaging

Each piece arrives ready to gift, with a card telling the story behind its symbol.

Give meaning that arrives all year

A membership makes an unforgettable gift — one piece at a time, with a story each month. Choose a tier, check out, and note it's a gift in the checkout — we'll include a gift card and start the boxes on your date.

Questions, answered

Can I choose my pieces?

The monthly piece is a curated surprise built around your metal tone and the meanings you tell us you love — that's the magic of it. Halo members have a say in their gold heirloom and any custom work.

Can I skip or cancel?

Anytime, from your account — skip a month, pause, change tiers, or cancel, with no fees or contracts.

When does it ship and bill?

You're billed on your monthly anniversary and your piece ships within a few days, free, in the U.S.

Is this the same as the Alumia Circle?

No — the Alumia Circle is our free rewards program. The Alumia Box is a paid membership that sends you a piece each month. Members earn Circle points too.

Can I prepay and save?

Yes — a 12-month prepaid membership saves about 15% and locks your rate. Halo prepay guarantees your solid-gold heirloom in your first year.

Made to Last

The Alumia Jewelry Warranty

Fine jewelry is meant to be worn — we keep yours like new.

Re-plating

Gold-plated pieces lose their glow with wear. Send yours in and we re-plate it to 18k standard in the studio.

Re-polishing

Sterling silver tarnishes and scratches. We hand-polish it back to bright.

Reasonable repairs

A bent band, a loose stone, a worn clasp — we make it right.

How it works

1. Email the studio a photo of the piece and what it needs.

2. We confirm it's covered and send the studio address (or drop it off at Savage Mill).

3. Hila restores it by hand in Maryland and ships it back. Most work takes 1–2 weeks.

Ways to be covered

Per piece — $9.99 once: tick "Add Jewelry Warranty" next to a piece in your cart. That piece is covered for life.

Everything you own — $9.99/mo or $99.99/yr: one membership covers every Alumia piece you ever buy. Choose it in the cart.

Included free with the Alumia Box Aura and Halo tiers.

Not covered: loss, theft, and damage beyond reasonable wear (we'll always quote a fair repair if something falls outside the warranty). All work is done by hand in our Savage Mill, Maryland studio.

Keep It Beautiful

Materials & Care

What your jewelry is made of, and how to keep it glowing.

Our materials

Sterling silver (.925): solid precious metal, polished bright. It can tarnish naturally over time — a quick polish brings it right back.

Gold-plated silver & brass: 18k-standard gold plating applied in the studio. Warm and rich — treat it kindly and it lasts; the warranty re-plates it when it doesn't.

Solid gold (10K–14K): heirloom-grade, hallmarked. It doesn't tarnish and can be worn daily for a lifetime.

Stones: genuine gemstones (garnet, moonstone, onyx, birthstones) set by hand. Everything is nickel-free and kind to sensitive skin.

Daily care

💧 Last on, first off: put jewelry on after lotion and perfume; take it off before swimming, showering, and sleeping.

Wipe after wear with a soft cloth — skin oils are the main cause of dulling.

📦 Store dry and separate — the pouch or box it arrived in is ideal; it prevents scratches and slows tarnish.

🧼 Deep clean: lukewarm water, a drop of mild soap, a soft brush — never harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners on plated pieces.

When a piece needs more than home care, the Alumia Jewelry Warranty re-plates, re-polishes, and repairs it by hand in the studio.

Good to Know

Questions, Answered

Shipping, sizing, returns, and everything between.

How long does shipping take?

In-stock pieces ship within 2–3 business days from Maryland. Standard U.S. shipping arrives in 3–7 days (free over the free-shipping minimum), expedited in 2–3. You can also pick up free at our Savage Mill studio.

Do you ship outside the U.S.?

Not yet through the site — email the studio and we'll quote international shipping for your order.

What's your return policy?

Unworn pieces in original packaging can be returned within 14 days for a refund (custom and personalized work excluded — those are made just for you). Something wrong with your piece? The warranty makes it right.

How do I find my ring size?

Order the $9.99 Ring Sizing Kit from any ring page — it's automatically refunded when you buy your ring. Or visit the studio and we'll size you in person.

Is everything really handmade?

Yes — every piece is designed by Hila and handmade in Maryland: carved, cast, plated, set, and polished by hand at Savage Mill.

Can I customize a piece I see in the shop?

Almost always. Alterations start at $89 — a different stone, size, finish, or engraving. Start on the Custom Jewelry page.

What is the Alumia Box?

A monthly subscription: a handmade symbolic piece (or three) arrives with the story behind it. From $129/mo — see Subscriptions.

What does the warranty cover?

Re-plating for gold-plated pieces, re-polishing for silver, and reasonable repairs — see the Alumia Jewelry Warranty.

The Inspiration

Protection, Worn as One

The Naxus began as Hila's personal study of guardian symbols — the geometric forms that recur across cultures as shields, eyes, and vessels of intent. The diamond silhouette is not decorative: it traces the ancient form of the protective eye, elongated and opened.

Garnet was chosen as the center stone for meaning, not trend. Red garnet has been placed at the center of protective amulets since antiquity — Roman soldiers wore it into battle, medieval travelers carried it for safe passage. Its deep red catches light like a living ember.

The set is the full expression of that original idea: the same form, the same stone, worn at three points simultaneously. Throat, ears, wrist. A complete field of intention.

Hila's Note
"I designed the pendant in 2021 and it became the piece I wear every day. I never meant to build a set around it — until I realized the bracelet and earrings kept appearing in my sketches. Some designs just want to be complete."
— Hila, founder of Alumia Design Studio
The Design Process

From Sketch to Studio

Every piece begins in Hila's sketchbook. These are working studies from the development of the Naxus collection — proportion, silhouette, and stone placement before any metal is cast.
