A company spokesperson announced on Instagram Saturday the passing of jewelry designer Alex Woo.
The founder of Alex Woo Inc. began designing jewelry more than 20 years ago. Her pieces have been worn by Carrie Bradshaw in The Carrie Diaries and most of the cast of the Gossip Girls, according to Women’s Wear Daily.
She also designed jewelry for Major League Baseball and is listed on Crain’s New York Business 40 under 40.
“Although we are filled with grief, there is comfort in knowing her extraordinary legacy and story will continue to be written through her designs,” the statement read on Instagram. “Alex was talented, vibrant, and remarkable in so many ways and will be deeply missed.”

She is described as a “doting mother, wife, daughter and businesswoman.”
“Alex was whip smart, a ferocious entrepreneur, a brilliantly talented designer and a generous mentor to many — especially to me when I launched my own company,” said Lynette Harrison Brubaker, founder and chief executive officer of LHB Group. “Oh Alex, how I will miss you but I will honor you each day by laughing with abandon and by being a willing mentor and cheerleader for others because that’s what you’d do.”
The family attended a private memorial service Saturday in Sarasota, Fla.
