Once upon a time there were two very good friends,
Sarah Baroni and Cathy Witkos, who shared similar interests that
included creating beautiful jewelry. After college, both girls
ended up in San Francisco, spending their days being with a great
group of friends, making road trips, tasting wine, biking, running
and exploring Northern California. They made lots of jewelry, sometimes
with the help of their three roommates, and sold it to local San
Francisco galleries. Soon their travels took them, individually,
to Belize, Costa Rica, Bali, Thailand, and Vietnam, among other
places. On one of these trips Sarah met her husband to be, and
they moved to Arcata, California and started Baroni Designs. Not
too long after, Cathy joined their team and they have had a successful
partnership ever since.
Baroni Designs' philosophy on design is based on an integral balance
of colors, shapes, and textures—elegant and fluid, with each
stone hand-picked for cut and clarity and Biwa freshwater pearls
carefully chosen for their exquisite luster.
Today, Baroni Designs reflects the very ideals that made it happen
in the beginning—an appreciation for understated but beautiful
sterling silver jewelry, a commitment to quality and integrity,
and an appreciation for a fun and enthusiastic staff and group
of customers that make it all happen. Sarah and Cathy each have
two young kids who inspire them in so many ways and with whom they
look forward to bringing on many of their future adventures together. |
