Jewelry is something that you can wear every day. It’s something that makes you feel good!

Deliciae is a home-based jewelry shop that sells affordable, unisex, non-tarnish accessories, perfect for daily use.

Deliciae was borne out of my love for accessories and being tired of my corporate job. Deliciae is owned and managed by me, Alyssa, and I’m the one-woman team behind the brand. From product shoots to posting online, from answering queries and packing orders, I do it all on top of my corporate job (eldest daughter things).
