What's it all about....
Lavidaloca - the crazy life

Quite literally, LaVidaLoca means The Crazy Life, which I'm sure we can all relate to.

Like many people, lockdown gave me the opportunity to turn a longterm hobby into a business, to bring joy to people in these turbulent times...

handmade jewellery...
made with love

My name is Ali Rankin and I'm a self taught jeweller, working from my home workshop near Edinburgh.

I think of each and every piece that I sell as going to a new home and I gain as much pleasure in hearing how happy my creations have made customers as I do in making them.

It's something I'll never tire of...

customers first...
custom made

I only design and make jewellery that I would wear myself and never go out without wearing at least one of my items!

I make every piece to order which means that you get exactly what you want. On offer here is the ability for you to choose the material, the finish, the colour and if you can't see what you want just ask!
