The jewelry of designer Sandra Lewis reveals her
earliest fascination with natural and organic materials. At age
seven, she began collecting shells, rocks and beads on the beaches
of Southern California. She has been making jewelry out of found
treasures ever since. A collector at heart, her work reflects the
inspired combination of precious ancient metals and gemstones.
After completing a BA in Rhetoric from UC Berkeley, Sandra studied
metalsmithing with Ralph Goldstein at UCLA. Creating pieces that
resonate a vibrant, universal and timeless energy, she describes
her sensibility as a balance of contradiction. An integration of
unlikely textures and colors that incorporate a handmade aesthetic.
Her use of gemstones with beautiful, sturdy, hand-forged clasps
and hardware, integrate the stones and metal into distinctly unique
jewelry. Genuine art for personal adornment.
People who wear Sandra’s creations, tend to collect multiple
pieces. The jewelry is designed to stack and layer well with a substantial
feel that is not heavy. The timeless sensibility makes one seasons
collection compatible with the next. This exemplifies the versatility
of this diverse line of gemstone necklaces, bracelets, anklets and
earrings in sterling silver. |
