Finding the perfect everyday jewelry can be harder than it sounds - we want something understated and classic that goes with everything, but is striking enough to be a signature piece without fading completely into the background. Of course we also want it to be well- and ethically-made on top of that, which can all add up to a surprisingly tall order for something so foundational. Sarah McGuire is a recent jewelry line addition to the Apparel store, but we're confident her work checks all these boxes, which is why we've added her line to our existing everyday superstars. 

Growing up in New England, Sarah spent her summers on the beaches of Cape Cod and coastal Connecticut, collecting objects and absorbing the landscape that would later inform her work as a jeweler. The influence of the natural world is clear in her work, from direct references such as her branch earrings and necklace, to her use of organic shapes and techniques that embrace imperfection and asymmetry. 

Her commitment to the natural world doesn't just extend to inspiration - one hundred percent of the raw gold and silver used in Sarah's handmade pieces is recycled, and her team takes pains to recycle as much as possible in-house to reduce costs and their carbon footprint. It's a commitment to environmentally-conscious production where possible, and we're happily supportive of any and all steps toward her sustainability goals. 

With its emphasis on both design and craftsmanship, Sarah’s spare, organic work rewards scrutiny without clamoring for attention. Whether you're a gold or silver gal (or both!), her timeless, meticulously crafted pieces are made to be worn every day and treasured for years to come.
