Jane has always had an appreciation for all things hand crafted and unique, and 

fashion has been her life long love. She's designed couture and unique garments using antique laces, embroidery, and vintage beads, which she sold to small, artsy boutiques. 

She also created bespoke garments and wedding dresses for her private clients, utilizing their family heirlooms and fabrics purchased on their world travels.

This passion for assemblage and re-purposing has carried through to Jane's jewelry designs. She loves to lay out all of the beads by colors, textures, and sizes, then mix and layer together. She uses many vintage elements that have been in her treasure chest for years. She starts beading from her center focal point & sees where the journey takes her.

Jane makes a very limited edition of her designs and many are one of a kind so that you will have a creation unique unto yourself. She also works with private clients to create a custom design just for them, oftentimes utilizing some of their family jewelry, reworking and modernizing a treasured piece for this modern age.

Alexis Dawn Geller, a South Florida native, is the founder and lead designer for her recently launched jewelry line ROXHOUSE. Having come from a creative family, her grandfather invented the Roledex, she was predisposed with an innate urgency to “create”. Raised in Fort Lauderdale, she was a fixture on the scene at her parents’ interior design company that focused on luxury window treatments. Her mother studied design at The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and is also a big influence when it comes to ROXHOUSE.

Geller always had a lust for fashion, having been designing her own clothing and crafts starting from a very early age. About a decade ago she began to teach herself how to make jewelry not only to express her individuality, but because she was unable to find a style that was feminine but funky. She was searching for classic pieces that had an edge. Taking matters into her own hands, she purchased “how-to” books and tools, watched YouTube videos and sought advice from successful jewelry designers she crossed paths with. As time went on and she became advanced and started to perfect her skill set her collection of one-of-a-kind pieces started to grow and friends, family, colleagues began to notice giving her positive feedback and requesting custom pieces of their own.

Feeling a strong connection with the energy and vibe of natural gemstones, it felt organic to include them in most of her statement pieces. “The earthy vibes I pick up from the different stones I use in my jewelry make me feel connected to each piece I create, they are also a perfect contrast to the cold, hard gold, silver and bronze metals I use,” says Geller.

What initially began as an outlet to relieve stress from her day-time job, Geller is a Licensed Clinical Social worker who spent ten years helping others cope with the worst times in their lives, making jewelry seemed to relax her after a long day. “After an extremely mentally exhausting day, I would come home and throw myself into a creative space not even noticing the hours that were passing by. It became the time my mind is the clearest and most peaceful,” says Geller. Alexis has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and her Masters in Social Work.

Alexis’s biggest inspiration when developing the concept for ROXHOUSE is drawn mainly from nature in its true natural beauty. All ROXHOUSE pieces that feature gemstones are natural and sourced by Geller herself, all over the world from exotic places such as Hong Kong, Brazil, Egypt and Japan. ROXHOUSE defines the perfect balance of masculine and feminine elements in each piece while keeping her designs classy and edgy at the same time. She sells large gemstones from all over the world. The collections consist of necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets and watches for men and women.
