Alexis Bittar

I have a few pieces of Alexis Bittar jewellery — and I like the look. My concern is the quality. I purchased a bracelet (gold finish with stones) online. The first time I wore the bracelet it fell off several times. I think the magnet is not strong enough. The second time I put the bracelet on a stone fell out. After several unsuccessful attempts to speak to someone in customer service (I could only leave voicemails that were not returned) — I emailed customer service. I did get an email back instructing me to send the bracelet to their repair department. I mailed the bracelet to their repair department as per the instructions. According to my tracking info my package was received on August 14, 2014. However, I could never get a concrete confirmation that my bracelet was being worked on. I followed up with the lady who had emailed me and I never got a return email. I called today and someone finally picked up the phone. They told me the original person who had responded to my email no longer works at the company. My concern is I still don’t know the status of my bracelet or if the right department has it. I did an internet search for reviews and came to a website for employees of companies to post their experiences. From what I have read the experiences for many employees is not good. One former employee stated that the employment conditions were deplorable, vendors were not being paid on time, there is a high turnover of employees and that their were problems with jewellery quality due to poor management, etc. I’m not surprised since I have had a difficult time communicating with anyone at the company. And I am concerned about receiving my bracelet back with a repair that fixes the problem (if I even receive my bracelet back!) So for now, until this is resolved, I will not be purchasing any more Alexis Bittar pieces.

I have been a follower since his MOMA days. You can’t wear Alexis Bittar without felling slick, shiny, and sexy, not to mention getting complements every time you turn around. It’s the jewelry of the future — they wore it in the most recent Star Trek movie. This store on Madison has friendly and approachable staff, carries the designer’s famous basic pieces as well as the newest line, and several times a year — like today, my friends — you can get it for a deep discount. The future is now :)

Love, love, love Alexis Bittar Jewelry. The lucite pieces are fun and funky, but sophisticated too. Perfect for work or a night out on the town.
They have earrings, necklaces, pins, rings, bracelets etc. I have several necklaces, earrings and bracelets from Alexis Bittar. All vary a little from piece to piece since they are hand made (so be sure to try on what you plan to buy).
Right now, this store has all new items from the Fall 2010 collection — lots of great stuff. I picked up a classic lucite bracelet and a super funky spiked metal one.
