For Alina Barlow, founder and creative director of Alinka Jewellery, travel is more than just an escape – it’s a source of endless design inspiration.
Drawing from the breathtaking beauty of Italy’s coastal gems, Amalfi and Capri, Alina has named two of her fine jewellery collections after these iconic destinations. These places influence her designs and shape how she styles her jewellery while on holiday.
Alina describes the island of Capri as a place of glamorous and rugged contrasts. “At night Capri turns on the glitz with its polished restaurants and linen tablecloths, but during the day the rugged coastline is a maze of unexplored caves and rugged topography. I love the rawness of these two extremes, the high terrain and picturesque coves.”
Inspired by this duality, Alina layers fine and chunky jewellery from the Capri collection with colourful wrist ties, creating a chic yet casual holiday look.
On the Amalfi Coast, Alina finds a creative sanctuary and a playground for exploration. “It’s our escape from the Sydney winter—a mix of daring climbs, hidden caves, and days lost at sea,“ she says.
Her Amalfi collection reflects this spirit, featuring striking architectural designs that make bold, modern statements while mirroring the serrated, dramatic contours of the Amalfi coastline.
Taking cues from Alina’s styling, browse our favourite pieces from Alinka Jewellery and get inspired to elevate your summer holiday jewellery stacking.
