About Sara Golden
Sara Golden is an independent jewelry designer making every piece by hand in her small Catskill Mountain studio. She loves using unique stones, sustainably sourced metals, and made-to-last fabrication techniques; she’s inspired by the imperfect beauty of nature, mythology, night skies, and anything that sparkles.
Sara started her bench jewelry training in Florence, Italy, and built on those foundations back in the United States at studios in and around New York City. Through design jobs at J. Crew, Kate Spade, and Lele Sadoughi, she was able to refine her aesthetic and design skills but grew disillusioned with what she was designing, jewelry meant to be forgotten about in a few weeks.
After moving to Phoenicia, NY in 2015, she started making jewelry in her own studio where she could do things differently. Since then she’s been designing and fabricating her own designs, creating jewelry you’re excited to wear and that’s made to last.
About the Jewelry
Most of her pieces start as wax carvings which, once cast, she assembles and finishes in her studio. She sets all stones by hand, using only genuine precious and semi-precious stones; the variety of colors and patterns are beautiful, random accidents by nature, and each specimen has its own story to tell. Sara uses only high quality metals, brass, sterling silver, and gold because of their durability, and finishes some pieces with a extra-thick gold or silver plating in order to achieve more dramatic designs at an accessible price point.
