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.
After moving to Phoenicia, NY in 2015, she started making jewelry in her own studio where she could focus on hand-craftsmanship, experiment with shapes and textures, and play with unusual and often one-of-a-kind stones.
About the Jewelry
Most of Sara’s pieces start as wax carvings which, once cast in recycled 14k gold, silver or brass, she assembles and finishes in her studio. You’ll see that most of her pieces have a matte finish so they feel like you’ve had them forever.
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.
