Saturday with Sahlia Michelle "new jewelry collection" April 18, 2009

Designer spotlight of hand-crafted and locally made jewelry.

Wine & Cupcakes provided!

Each piece in the Sahlia Michelle Jewelry collection is hand-crafted in her Portland studio. Every design is individually constructed, so no two are alike.

Inspiration is drawn from the environment around her, in everything from the shapes and textures of nature to modern architecture and urban art. Sahlia has always had a particular fascination with water, which serves as the undertow in much of her work. Water is even involved in the creation of her jewelry. Melting pure silver into water allows it to reform organically, creating the unique molten silver droplets used throughout her line.

Raw semi-precious gemstones, hand-pounded sterling silver and her signature molten silver droplets are the core elements of her newest collection. These are combined with innovative materials such as gunmetal chain and authentic stingray skin, resulting in jewelry that's as edgy and unique as it is timeless.
