VERA'S WORLD

VERANASI

THE DESIGNER

Sarah has an innate gift for design: her distinct eye for style and presentation has been cultivated over a lifetime of international exploration. She was born in Varanasi and lived in India until attending kindergarten in Seattle, when she immediately began drawing to find a way to blend her world together. Sarah would trace Disney princesses and Sailor Moon while she struggled with the expectation to learn English quickly enough for her teachers. Tone, proportion, pattern, shape, color, balance, shade - these design elements make up a language Sarah had a knack for and began studying obsessively. She has been learning to speak her own unique voice ever since.

Sarah was raised with style; her parents brought her to international production factories throughout her childhood, which introduced incredibly specialized knowledge of design production into her already remarkable education. She began making production decisions before age 10 that found their way onto shop floors around the world. Her teenage years were spent exploring London, Paris, India, Vietnam, China and Cambodia - refining her ability to blend the world together in a way that elevates its expression: making something uniquely significant. After high school, Sarah earned her BFA from Otis College of Art and Design and found immediate success in the professional world.

DESIGNING JEWELRY

Sarah's jewelry is like the punctuation in poetry; it is all about the finishing touch. There is a feeling associated with every line, a story brought about by the subtle nuances of stone, color, shape, pattern, material, and size. She is truly an international artist, able to catch the organic differences between the jacket to wear in Paris and the shoes to wear in Los Angeles. Every piece she designs carries a story which identifies the wearer as the main character. Sarah's natural brilliance makes for a very exciting future for this young designer.

The jewelry collection is a reflection of the complexities of friendship and the emotions that come with a breakup. Using black onyx, black pearls, black spinel, and white cubic zirconia set in silver gold plated, the pieces capture the essence of loss and memories in a friendship. The black teardrop shaped stones symbolize the tears shed during the breakup, while the white sparkly cubic zirconia represent the happy moments that should not be forgotten. The collection beautifully showcases the light and dark aspects of friendship, held together by silver gold plated to signify the facade of authenticity in a seemingly pure bond. It is a tribute to the bittersweet nature of relationships and the beauty found in both the light and dark moments of friendship.
