Alicia Goodwin is a full-time Chicago-based jeweler who specializes in adding unique textures to her sculptural jewelry. With a background in Cultural Anthropology as well as a degree in Jewelry Design from New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, Alicia applies her knowledge of ancient techniques like reticulation and acid etching to her more contemporary designs.
Her love of complex-looking ceremonial jewelry created with minimal tools such as fire, sand, and beeswax led her to truly admire the work throughout the Mesoamericas and the African diaspora. She honed her unique style while working for dozens of major jewelry companies in the fashion industry in New York City, learning the business ins and outs during the day, while creating at night.
With almost two decades of experience under her belt, and a decade of being an independent jeweler in her own right with her eponymous brand, Lingua Nigra, Alicia continues to fabricate new ways to explore bygone approaches to creating wearable art.
