Sara Graham Metalsmithing

By incorporating innovative materials with her exceptional design sense, Sarah Graham creates jewelry that is unlike anything else; organic, textural, with a muted palate that is subtly feminine, yet substantial; unique, yet universal in its appeal. It is the contrast in her jewelry-blackened steel juxtaposed with 18k yellow and white gold, textured and polished finish-that is its' most eye-catching element, and it is the contrast in her jewelry that mirrors her life. Like the art itself, the artist's path has been paved with freedom from convention.

Sarah dedicated herself to learning all aspects of jewelry making, remaining undaunted by the prospect of earning a living as an artist. She worked in a jewelry retail store for a year, utilizing one of her days off to work alongside the bench jeweler. She then took two years off to travel the world, gaining inspiration from the jewelry she saw in museums, galleries and stores. Upon her return, Sarah obtained an apprenticeship under a master goldsmith and for two years she painstakingly perfected all aspects of her talent before moving on to a full time job as a bench jeweler, which she held until she branched out on her own in 2000.
