Alexis Mazza

Alexis Mazza, Accessories Design, Jewelry Design ’13, is a sixth-generation jewelry designer who vaulted into the industry when her line, LexiMazz Designs, won the 2017 Emerging Designer Competition at the Centurion Jewelry Show in Scottsdale, Arizona. She favors minimalistic loops of gold studded with diamonds and long, slender chains that drape elegantly down the chest and back. She’s twice been featured in British Vogue and showed at London Fashion Week in February. The jewelers in her family are notable enough that Assistant Professor Michael Coan mentioned them in a jewelry history course. Mazza recalls, “My friend turned to me and said, ‘Alexis, that’s you!’”
