My love of historical items began early when I would accompany my father to estate sales. My artsy flair was encouraged by my mother from a young age. Fashion was always on my mind, as my mother said you loved your Spiegel catalogue. I began designing and collecting jewelry during my adventures combing through antiques. My first jewelry design consisted of a pin and earrings made of watercolor on

paper. This love of history, culture and my own heritage led me to pursue anthropology. I completed my doctorate in Brazil, which was focused on indigenous cultures. While in Brazil the array of natural materials and colors inspired me to begin to create my jewelry again. My Brazilian friends gave me the nickname Sarara. My pieces started to get attention and I was able to get them into stores in Brazil and the United States. I decided to merge the love of accessories into Sarara Vintage Couture. It combines my blog, etsy shop and vintage jewelry site. You can can commission couture one of a kind pieces and see my press under Jewelry by Sarara and Press at www.sararacouture.com. My mission for is to provide you with historical, rare, unique and or show stopping pieces of jewelry. I love large jewelry styles and you will find such pieces in my store. The selection includes vintage couture and designer pieces as well as labeless historic selections which meet that standard or uniqueness. Whenever possible I will tell the story of the piece here or on the blog, www.sararavintage.com

Lots of pretty photographs of the finished cottage to show you snapped by at the beginning of the fall. It’s come into its own and the changes of the seasons and light have added even more beauty to the home. Can’t wait to use these for press and my portfolio,

Polly Mellen just passed at 100. Inspiring many, she helped bring a sense of fashion to my own work and interiors. I was excited to have purchased her YSL love posters, once housed in her bathroom, when she let them go. They have adorned all of my homes! I’ve always loved photography and as editor at Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue produced she produced some of the most iconic, evocative, and beautiful work with photographer Richard Avedon. I admired her tough work ethic, gracefulness, style, and creativity.

Our Story

My love of historical items began early when I would accompany my father to estate sales. My artsy flair was encouraged by my mother from a young age. My affinity for history, culture, and jewelry began early. I started by wearing and hunting down 1920s jewelry from auctions and designing accessories as an adolescent. I’m a southern girl born a few hours outside Nashville, with family roots in Tennessee and cultural links to other parts of the US and the world. Our family roots are diverse and blended heritage. I’m a little romantic, practical, bohemian, a lover of fashion design and a little rock n roll. I hope my history and foundation colors and enriches the shop’s choices and aesthetic.

This love of cultures, art, and history led me to pursue an anthropology degree. After graduating from Notre Dame and the University of Chicago in social sciences, I followed my natural inclination to travel all the way to the country of Brazil. At 20 years old, not speaking the language, I left alone and decided to do a doctorate in anthropology there. I had a small scholarship, and the hope that I would get into their doctorate program on a fellowship. I became a Dr. of Visual Anthropology after completing my studies in Brazil- at UNICAMP. My first area of love being indigenous cultures. I taught for 5 years at Scad in Atlanta before moving to the northeast and pursuing Sarara Couture full time. My experience lecturing includes cultures and jewelry, material culture, victorian jewelry, as well as modernist Native American jewelry…. I still enjoy giving talks on the subjects I love when I can. While living in Brazil around 1999, the natural materials, their flair for design and color use inspired me to begin to create accessories again. Those jewelry pieces started to gain national press around 2006, when the brand was born. Shop us on www.sararacouture.com.
