THE DESIGNER

Sarah has an innate gift for design; her distinct eye for style and presentation cultivated over years of international exploration. Born in Varanasi Sarah lived in India until moving to Seattle, when she immediately began drawing to find a way to blend her world together. Tone, proportion, pattern, shape, color, balance, shade – these design elements make up a language Sarah had a knack for and began studying obsessively. She has been learning to speak her own unique voice ever since. 

Raised with working parents who took her to international production factories throughout her childhood. Sarah was introduced to incredibly specialized knowledge of design production at an early age and saw items that found their way onto shop floors around the world. Her teenage years were spent exploring London, Paris, India, Vietnam, China, and Cambodia - refining her ability to blend the world together in a way that elevates its expression: making something uniquely significant. After high school, Sarah earned her BFA from Otis College of Art and Design and found immediate success in the professional world.

DESIGNING JEWELRY

At VERANASI, jewelry is more than an accessory; it is a reflection of personal stories and transformative experiences. The pieces provide the excitement of wearing art.

Elegance, to me, is a quiet sophistication. My pieces are hand crafted to enhance individuality, allowing wearers to express their unique style with confidence—whether for everyday wear or special occasions. I aspire to create a global brand that resonates with women of all ages, offering timeless staples that evoke emotion and spark joy.

Sarah's jewelry is like the punctuation in poetry; it is all about the finishing touch. There is a feeling associated with every line, a story brought about by the subtle nuances of stone, color, shape, pattern, material, and size.

Allow me to unveil “Abscission”—a jewelry collection that artfully encapsulates the intricate complexities of friendship, the poignant moments of heartbreak, and the transformative journey that follows.

Much like the life cycle of a flower, this collection celebrates both the beauty and the bittersweet nature of connections. The term “Abscission” reflects the natural process of shedding leaves, paralleling the emotional release we experience when friendships evolve or fade.

Every piece in this collection is thoughtfully crafted with carefully selected gemstones, each imbued with their own significance. The deep, grounding black onyx serves as a beacon of strength, alleviating stress and helping to release the past traumas that can linger from a friendship's ending. Additionally, the robust black spinel is included to foster resilience, providing stability, and repelling negative energies that may seek to weigh us down.

Accompanying these powerful stones, the exquisite black pearls stand as symbols of transformation, transmuting negativity into clarity while stimulating intuition and fostering emotional balance. Each pearl reminds us that through the shedding of loss, we can gain insight and understanding.

Surrounding these rich tones are the luminous white cubic zirconia, representing purity and the eternal memories that friendships create—moments that remain forever etched in our hearts, no matter the changes we face.

“Abscission” is a tribute to the duality of friendship, a collection that embraces the light and dark, the joy and sorrow, and the beauty of growth that emerges from the complexities of our connections. Each piece serves as a reminder that even in moments of loss, we can find strength, clarity, and the enduring beauty of memories that will never be forgotten.
