backstage pass

Last Thursday I was lucky enough to outfit models for Kajan Padraig with my jewels for a charity fashion show. The production, organized by GO, raised money to fund the construction of a sustainable clean water well to serve more than 4,00 people in Tanzania.

GO (Groundwork Opportunities) has projects all over the world. In fact, my fiancé and I are considering volunteering abroad in Africa or Southeast Asia as an extension to our honeymoon next year. What, did you think we'd sit on the beach in Hawaii for 10 days? Nah....not us!

This was the first time I have ever helped out backstage at a fashion show, and it was pretty intense! All I could think about was how nervous I would be if I had to walk the runway and then rush back stage and change in about a minute flat.

I'm very excited to see the images form the actually runway show and will be sure to share them.

I can't wait to share my new collection/logo redesign/photo shoot with all of you. In the meantime, here are some little morsels from the Sarah Swell photo shoot to keep you satified while everything comes together.

photo shoot-sneak peek!

Hello all! My life has been very full lately. I've recently started running my business full time, I just purchased my very first home, and, among other things, a new Sarah Swell photo shoot!

Organizing a shoot always makes me crazy. There are so many details to remember and somehow, no matter what, everything is up in the air until the very last moment-this time was no exception. But, in the end everything fell deliciously into place. The photographer and model were amazing, as was the hair and make-up artist. The famous San Francisco fog began to creep in late afternoon to suppress the harsh sun as if on cue. The crowds that were in the city that day for a baseball game began to thin, and then-magic!

Stay tuned to see the finished product!

CHAOS Magazine

Chaos Magazine chose Sarah Swell jewelry to compliment their amazing "Down at the Manor" photo shoot at San Francisco's Conservatory Of Flowers. As is the norm with fashion editorial spreads, the jewelry can be difficult to spot. But, it's there nonetheless and worn by tall leggy beauties in a stunningly styled (thanks Pauline!) and photographed feature.
