Ali lives in Southern California, 100 years out of time, making steampunk-inspired jewelry reminiscent of the Victorian Era.
"I am inspired by a time when great pride and craftsmanship were taken in everything – jewelry, architecture, clothing, timepieces, etiquette; and when great mechanical feats of engineering couldn’t be cranked out by the hundreds per day. Pre-computer and pre-technology, my steampunk collection displays and preserves mementos from this era, so that they can be appreciated long past their own lifetimes, and to remind us all of simple times long ago."
