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.

Michou Jewelry - Handcrafted Sterling Silver Designer Jewelry

Michou Jewelry - Sterling Silver Designer Jewelry Collection


When Michele Sonner, the artist behind Michou, planned her first trip to Bali, where her intricate, Handmade Jewelry is created, she actually had to pull out an atlas to find exactly where the island is situated.
While Bali is the original source of inspiration for her collections, Michele's travels have inspired collections as well as her own homestead, which she shares with her husband and son, near Lake Tahoe, California

Michele Sonner's PHILOSOPHY : MARVELS IN METALS

Although an expert in art, Michele Sonner, Michou's founder and designer, had never actually made her own jewelry.

Inspired by what she encountered on her first trip to Bali, Michele did her own research and experimenting to achieve her distinctive look: a combination of centuries-old goldsmithing techniques used and a modern aesthetic that made the jewelry suitable for everyday use.

Michou Jewelry Collections


The deep rich midnight sky inspired her Constellation collection which features blue rainbow moonstone backed with a black lacquer that gives an other worldly iridescence to the gem. Michele mixes her midnight blues with other blue and purple gemstones in a minimalist, simple geometric style, which happens to be both elegant and denim friendly.

 

Chrysalis : 
Originally Michou's designer Michele Sonner called this collection "'emergence'--because the pearl was emerging through a crack in the sphere shape like a flower coming up in the garden after a long winter." The silver has Michou's own distinctive finish called Pearlessent, a hand finished texture that mimics the way mother of pearl reflects light. 
On her travels over the years, Michele Sonner, Michou's designer, has amassed quite a collection of extraordinary gemstone specimens. Michele loves to match various colored gems with the flashes of color found in her beloved opals. Each piece has a distinct palette of colors that remains the primary focus of the piece and the design.

Vianna Brazilian Jewelry with Gemstones as pieces of art


Paradise Found: Brazilian Jewelry with Beautifully Cut Gemstones
 

Deep purple amethyst, sea-like aquamarine, pink morganite, sunny citrine and smoky quartz. Laying claim to any one of those gemstones would be nice, but Brazil just happens to be home to all of those sizzling hot gemstones and more.
 
As a Jewelry designer, Vianna very much lets the gemstones themselves do the talking, allowing the colors and shapes to help speak to and inspire the design. "How do we define our design? Vianna Jóias is sophisticated, contemporary, shiny and colorful," says Vianna.
 
The company's philosophy is to have a variety of gemstones be the centerpiece of designs that are set in rich, 18-karat gold. So enamored of the gemstones it uses in its creations, Vianna actually came up with its own names for some of them, such as "green gold quartz," "olive quartz" or "whiskey citrine." Other favorites include prasiolite, which is green quartz, and rhodolite.
