You ask, we answer!
Where is Alicia's Diary jewelry made?
Our jewelry is produced by our manufacturing partners in France, China, and Turkey.
We handcraft some small series ourselves – right where we happen to be at that moment! So, it’s entirely possible that your new pearl bracelet was made in the middle of the ocean, under a palm tree in the sand, or in a cozy beach café far from the hustle and bustle of the city!
Is Alicia's Diary jewelry real?
Yes, our jewelry is real!
We create real jewelry from 925 sterling silver with an official hallmark, permanently gold-plated jewelry on a brass base, and stainless steel jewelry, which is also real but officially falls under the term "costume jewelry." Everything is available in pure silver or gold-plated with real gold.

Is Alicia's Diary jewelry really waterproof?
Yes, our jewelry is waterproof – with the exception of some of our bridal jewelry pieces, of course! It’s made for your everyday life, meant to be worn often and to be as close to you as possible!
To ensure we know exactly what we’re talking about, our team, families, and friends test wear each of our jewelry designs continuously for several weeks: in the shower, in the pool, in the sea, even while sleeping and exercising.
The most important insight is that it’s not the water that damages your jewelry, but the individual composition of your sweat and your personal care products. So, one person can wear a certain piece of jewelry even during sports and at night, while another might be better off taking it off.
An occasional clear shower merely cleans your jewelry from dirt, which is only good. After the sea and pool, but also after a hot sweaty day, you should always rinse it with fresh water and dry it carefully.
Is Alicia's Diary jewelry really skin-friendly?
Yes, our jewelry is free of skin-irritating substances! Since our team includes people with neurodermatitis and allergies, we can confirm this not only from the manufacturer's side but also from personal experience. Please note that skin irritations can also occur mechanically, for example, due to friction, and from tiny dirt particles on poorly maintained jewelry.
What is the quality of Alicia's Diary jewelry?
We pay strict attention to high-quality materials and clean and proper workmanship. With proper care, careful storage, and gentle handling (please always put on and take off carefully!), our jewelry will remain beautiful for a long time. Our customers describe our jewelry in this price category as particularly delicate, lovely, and excellently crafted.
