Bene Caindoy Alexander was born in Tabon Tabon, Leyte, Philippines on October 11, 1965.
Her father was Chinese and an immigrant to
the Philippines. He was a jewelry designer / importer, unforunately he passed away about the time of Bene's birth, however she
always loved his unique creations. She realized she had a talent for creating jewerly and this gave her a connection with his memory.
After a difficult early relationship
with her Filipino mother, she struck out on her own at the young age of 16 moving to Japan to work.
She continued making jewelry while living off and on in Japan for over 12 years.
After returning to the Philippines, she continued making jewelry and rugs which were
sold in the metro Manila area. In 1996, she met and married her current husband, Jim Alexander while he was on vacation from working
in Riyad, Saudi Arabia. In 1998, she move to the US from Saudi Arabia when Jim's contract was finished. She recently started making
jewelry here in the US.
She has a keen eye for simple but elegant designs and hopes that people are truly happy with her creations.
