Aletheia & Phos
Founded by Alicia Millan in 2014, Aletheia & Phos is a Melbourne-based independent jewellery label that draws inspiration from themes of connection—whether to home, loved ones or personal history. With roots in Fitzroy and a blend of Italian and Greek heritage, Alicia channels her childhood love of crystals and nearly a decade of fashion industry experience into the brand. What started as a creative outlet, crafting crystal bracelets at her kitchen table, has grown into a popular local jewellery brand known for its meaning-filled designs.
Each piece at this Fitzroy jewellery studio is made with intention, like the Connector Bracelet, which symbolises staying connected to loved ones, no matter the distance. Committed to sustainability, Aletheia & Phos partners with the Responsible Jewellery Council, ensuring that every piece is ethically handcrafted by artisans who adhere to high ethical and environmental standards.
