BEHIND THE BRAND
Alison Lillian Bergeron was born and raised in a small town in Louisiana, about 45 minutes outside of New Orleans. Her home was on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River, on the border of Burnside and Darrow.
​
"Her jewelry reflects where she came from, where she's been, and where she is now. Her hope is to inspire others to follow their dreams, and to remind people to never forget where they're from".
She grew up in the country, surrounded by her family on what they called The Compound.
The Compound consisted of 10 houses filled with cousins, aunts, great aunts, and grandparents. Sunday breakfast was always at her grandparents' house; Sunday lunch was hosted by the great aunts. It was a simple, uncomplicated way to grow up. Yet Alison always wanted to see what laid beyond this simple life.
New York has always held a place in Alison's heart, so she left the south and started a new journey. Alison has lived in New York for 10 years, but following the COVID-19 pandemic, she moved back to Louisiana for the time being.
Within this time she was able to reconnect with her Louisiana roots, Alison created a line of jewelry inspired by her youth. The key theme is simplicity, but with overarching gold tones and a sense of style that only New York could inspire.
Alison's love of jewelry can be traced back to her maternal grandmother. Even when she was in her 90s, this grandmother never felt completely dressed each day until she put on her earrings, or as she called them, "ear bobs."
Alison never lost her love for her southern roots, nor the city lights. Her jewelry reflects where she came from, where she's been, and where she is now. Her hope is to inspire others to follow their dreams, and to remind people to never forget where they're from.​
