Our roots go back 35 years when Alana was a jewel-struck teenager haunting garage sales and local thrift shops. As she matured so did her keen eye and sense of style.   Alana became a serious collector, occasional reseller and an expert at recognizing exceptional pieces of period jewelry.   In 1994 she turned her passion into profit. She leased a shop in Northgate Mall and began the extraordinary retail success story that is Alana: Antique & Estate Jewelry.   It's a story built on the timeless beauty of previously-owned jewelry with a genealogy all its own and the commitment by an informed and caring staff to provide the kind of personal service that turns customers into friends.
