It was the spring of 2019, and I popped open my storage box of old jewelry expecting to revisit my beautiful pieces I designed over the last 15 years. What I really saw, was a graveyard of jewelry with styles I’d never wear again. I loved designing jewelry, but didn’t like short-lived trendy jewelry.

Staring at this sad box of jewelry I realized I’m not the only woman becoming more conscious of her purchases. I knew there had to be a way to enjoy affordable designer jewelry without the guilt. Which is why I decided to change the way we see jewelry.

This is why I started Sara Patino Jewelry, an earth friendly jewelry collection made for women who want to look, feel and do good.

I launched Sara Patino Jewelry in 2019 and I started in my basement, making each piece by hand, loving the process and the joy it brought to my customers. A year later, I became pregnant, which further shaped my approach. As a mom, I needed jewelry that transitioned effortlessly from day to night. I was over the super trendy looks. More than that, I wanted to create a better world for my child’s future. These values—sustainability, timeless design, and everyday versatility —are at the heart of my brand today.

Today Sara Patino Jewelry is a collection of handcrafted timeless, versatile pieces that are reversible and layerable, offering more ways to wear and more value in every piece. It's nature inspired and made with recycled metals and natural gemstones. Each demi-fine piece is made with premium 14k vermeil, and great for every day
