Is Alex and Ani Bringing Positive Energy to Wellesley?

Bangles and positivity are the goal of Alex and Ani, a jewelry store which seems to be looking at opening here in Wellesley.

There are a couple of job postings appearing on the web for a Wellesley store, such as a Store Manager and a Part Time Keyholder position.

The Swellesley Report is looking into the details, but believe the jewelry store will move into the former EDENS location, next to the new home of Kidville Wellesley. 

The company was founded in 2004 by Carlyn Rafaelian, according to the company website. Her jewelry design is a matter of family tradition, and her father taught her the value of products made in America and made with eco-friendly materials. 

From the company's mission statement: 

Carolyn believes that every indivudal has a positive message to share with the world and by incorporating powerful symbolsim and designs into each (+) Energy piece, Alex and Ani provides a vehicle for the wearer to express their individuality in an organic, spiritual way. 

About a year ago, Chief Executive Officer Giovanni Feroce told  Last year, Feroce also addressed the U.S. Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee. 

The Swellesley Report also notes that you can buy their bangles from Pine Strawhere in town.
