Sarah Graham Jewelry - Pebbles, Clover, Flowering Coral, Confluence Handmade Collection

Designer Sarah Graham has a lot in common with 19th century Americans who headed west in search of finding a life or career where they could make their mark.
Originally, the San Francisco-based Jewelry Designer seemed to be following in her family's business-minded footsteps. Her father is a CPA and her sister a successful restaurateur. Sarah even earned a bachelor's degree in international business, fully intending to pursue a business career.

Graham draws on natures elements to bring her product lines to life. Graham's signature style combines 18k gold and blackened steel; black, white, and cognac diamonds. The end result is a dazzling and provocative elegance that puts her work in high demand and at the forefront of the media. Graham carefully chooses feminine yet bold pieces that are universally appealing to a wide array of cultures and influences.

Her painstaking detail of old-world craftsmanship began as an unpaid apprentice for two years in Carmel, California and then as a bench jeweler for six years. After fully preparing herself both technically, and artistically, she launched Sarah Graham Metalsmithing in 2000. - From www.sarahgraham.com


Sarah Graham's Collection of Designer Jewelry:



Jacaranda Pod:
A true marvel of natural design, its beauty lies in the unusual structure of a pair of opposite compound leaves that seemed to have a pretty ruffle around the edges. The two sides of the pod join at the top and spread apart creating an interior space, the perfect setting to add movement with dangles of diamonds.



Pebbles:
A signature look from Sarah, the Pebble collection is inspired by the natural shapes found in stones tossed among the currents of a river. Once jagged edges of rocks now have been smoothed and gently shaped and tumbled into softened yet irregular forms.

 



A four leaf clover shape in one of the custom-made drawplates her workshop uses to pull handmade wire through to twist into chain, inspired what has become one of her best known collections: Clover.


The Flowering Coral collection is based on one of the thousands of corals illustrated by Ernst Haeckel, the preeminent German biologist, zoologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician and artist who discovered and described thousands of new species in the 19th century. 


Confluence - Handmade Jewelry Collection :
Inspired by a piece of jewelry given to her by a jewelry designer friend, each piece is based on a cup shape made in either 18-karat gold or blackened cobalt chrome where a diamond often rests delicately inside.

I think this is huge collection of handmade jewelry because each piece is based on a cup shape.
