Q: How did Sage & Saber come to be?
A: Four years ago I struggled with depression and very low self-esteem in 2020. While trying to cope with a miserable time, I isolated myself in my room and discovered a surprising solace in jewelry making. I then began selling my creations out of the trunk of my car at Kobey’s Swap Meets, waking up at 6 AM on Saturdays to meet customers and learn about what they liked. I would use Post-It notes as price tags and cardboard boxes for my displays.
My love for watches inspired me to incorporate them into my jewelry, crafting contemporary pieces that carried a hint of nostalgia. My focus now is on creating memorable experiences.
After multiple pivots in the beginning, Sage and Saber was the final destination.
Q: What inspired you to start creating jewelry?
A: I've always been drawn to the artistry of jewelry, but I was frustrated by the lack of originality in mass-produced pieces. I also loved being able to turn my visions into life into wearable pieces on the spot.Q: That's quite a journey! What was the turning point?
A: The more I chatted with customers, the more I realized there was a real hunger for unique, personalized jewelry. I knew I had to think bigger. So, I made a bold move – I packed up and headed to New York City with a vision to transform the industry.
