Meet Lex
Alexis Mazza Korb, better known as, Lex. The New York–born visionary behind Lex Fine Jewelry has redefined what modern fine jewelry can be: sensual yet sophisticated, classic yet unapologetically forward. A three-time award-winning designer and sixth-generation jeweler, Lex possesses that rare alchemy of heritage and innovation, a talent honed at the Fashion Institute of Technology and shaped by a lifelong immersion in the art of adornment.
Founded in 2017, Lex Fine Jewelry is a study in contrasts: bold yet refined, architectural yet fluid. Every piece is designed with intention, sculptural lines of gold, the glint of diamonds, the shimmer of semi-precious stones, all crafted to move with the woman who wears them. Her collections invite layering, stacking, and endless reinvention, the jewelry equivalent of a perfectly tailored wardrobe that transcends time and trend.What sets Lex apart is not only her craftsmanship, but her understanding of women. She designs for those who live beautifully, women who collect memories, who command rooms quietly, and who understand that true luxury lies in the details.
It’s no surprise that Lex Fine Jewelry quickly caught the attention of the industry’s most discerning eyes, earning one of the coveted titles in the Centurion Emerging Jewelry Designers Competition. Today, the brand’s pieces are worn by those who appreciate refinement with edge, jewelry that feels as personal as it is powerful.
To wear Lex is to be part of something rare, a celebration of elegance, individuality, and the art of modern glamour.
Bartolomeo Mazza, Visionary of the Deep
In the mid-1800s, Bartolomeo Mazza built a fleet of coral ships off the coast of Torre del Greco, transforming a local craft into a thriving Italian art form. His pursuit of beauty beneath the Mediterranean’s surface laid the foundation for what would become a six-generation legacy of design, craftsmanship, and devotion to the extraordinary.
Tucked along the glittering coastline of Torre del Greco in the early 1900s stood La Pineta Tea Room, a creation of Bartolomeo Mazza and his brothers, visionaries who believed beauty should be experienced, not just worn.
What began as a seaside rest stop soon became one of Italy’s most whispered-about destinations, a gathering place for poets, socialites, and aristocrats traveling near the Amalfi coastline. On the first floor, guests sipped fine teas and indulged in the kind of conversation that sparkled as brightly as the Mediterranean light. Upstairs, the second floor unveiled a Mazza jewelry salon, where elegant travelers would browse exquisite coral and gold creations, each piece a work of art from the famed Mazza atelier.
It wasn’t merely a tea room. It was an experience, a meeting place for the cultured elite, a celebration of refinement, art, and craftsmanship. La Pineta became a symbol of Italian elegance, where society’s most discerning figures came to be seen, and to adorn themselves in Mazza brilliance.
Though La Pineta no longer stands today, its story softened by time and the turmoil of war, its spirit endures in every facet of the Mazza legacy. A reminder that true artistry never fades, it simply evolves.
And so begins the next fascinating chapter of Mazza history, one that continues to redefine modern luxury through Lex Fine Jewelry.
