This weekend I met local jewelry designer Sara Elizabeth Brandon of SararaBrazil. Her line is carried at Bill Hallman, among other places across the country. Brandon hand-dyes her Brazilian seed beads, as well as buys most of her materials from the hot South American country. She works with local Brazilian artisans and uses natural materials from Brazil such as grass, nuts, Amazonian seeds, and renewable types of woods as well as materials from around the world. So she’s eco-friendly and super talented. She’s also having a 15% off sale on her new spring/summer line with the coupon code spring.
