Jewelry holds stories.
It has the power to create them and to tell them. I am a jeweler whose work has been gifted, worn, and coveted and now I seek a new role, that of a story teller.
A Ring With A Promise celebrates and questions the culture of promise rings and asks what became of these adolescent tokens of commitment.
A Ring With A Promise
2021 - Ongoing

Beginning with her own experience, Sarah is sharing stories about rings given and received with a promise.
For each day of Munich Jewellery Week 2021, she will be releasing a recording that speaks to those formative years where in the midst of roaming the halls of high school we are discovering our identities and for some, falling in love for the first time.
And so I thought to myself, “ya, I’m going to pawn the promise ring.” And get some cash for gas and tickets for the show and not think twice about it.
