that's a wrap!

Yesterday was the final day of holiday jewel making in the studio!  We absolutely love getting our hands dirty creating in silver and gold, but this time of year is nonstop and a tad overwhelming for most small businesses.  I'm very excited to take the time between now and New Years to do what I love most: design new jewelry! *Sigh of relief*  I look forward to sharing as things come to fruition.

However, if you'd still like to get your hands on something sparkly, be sure to visit one of our lovely stockists in your area.

I just came across this gorgeous gift guide for the Bay Area from the lifestyle blog Exte featuring our flotsam & jetsam studs and 18k gold snake ring.  What great picks!

the holidays are closing in!

I love this image from Crown Nine, one of my favorite stockists, of the silver fishbone earrings.  Just dreamy!

The very last day to order for holiday delivery from Sarah Swell is this Monday the 16th.  Use code "SHIPIT" for free shipping.  Also, check the stockist page for a store near you that carries my work.

BUT, if you don't live in the Bay Area, don't fret!  There will be an online sample sale commencing Sunday December 1st at 9 am PST.  Like us on Facebook for details!

new stockist: garde

We're growing and it has been very exciting!  Head over to the website to see the recently updated list of locations that now carry Sarah Swell jewelry, with even more to come before the holidays.

One new account that we're particularly excited about is Garde.  This LA based lifestyle boutique calls itself "modern natural," which is exactly the aesthetic that I try to breathe into my jewelry, and life for that matter.

I cannot wait to take road trip south and visit!

But in the meantime, I'm drooling over this this and this.

photos from the studio

While the film crew for the Progressive Apron Project was busy shooting video, I had the pleasure of also having the studio photographed by talented Brooklyn based photographer Ren Yagolnitzer.

Take a look at her beautiful work on her blog.  Thanks Ren!
