About Alberto Parada
Award winning designer Alberto Parada is the 2009 winner of the JCK Jewelers Choice Award for Best Necklace. Born in New York City in 1968, Alberto Parada is equally at home in the United States or in his parent's native South America, where he spent much of his youth. Today he lives in Washington DC but travels frequently to Paraguay and Uruguay. His unique cultural background has inspired a passion for bold yet delicate design, influenced by tradition yet utterly new and refreshingly distinctive. A self-taught designer, Alberto worked for 15 years with local jewelers in Washington, DC. His mission is to showcase what seems to be missing in jewelry design. Alberto describes the vision for his original line as “everyday elegance” – eye-catching jewelry that can be worn anytime and anywhere. Blending diamonds and brilliant South American colored gems with various tones of recycled Harmony 18K gold, Alberto is known for the high quality of his materials and extraordinary craftsmanship. Clients prize his one-of-kind, custom-designed heirloom pieces for their timeless yet modern style.
Alberto Parada Design
His designs are inspired by his travels throughout South America, and influenced by European and South American designers. His vision is a bold, yet elegant design that can be worn day or night for all occasions. Alberto Parada’s jewelry is handcrafted and manufactured in the United States using natural, environmentally-friendly materials of the highest quality. With a strong commitment to the earth's future, Alberto is proud of his recognition as a green designer and looks forward to bringing more attention to eco-consciousness in the jewelry industry. In October 2007, Alberto was the featured designer in the first-ever "Green Fashion Week" in Seattle, Washington. Recent attention has been focused on eco-friendly choices, but Alberto has always used conflict-free diamonds and fair trade gems as well as recycled gold.
