Sailor's Valentine is the thoughtful creation of Sandra Bonazoli, a New England jeweler and metalsmith who has poured the past 30 years into her beloved craft. Though Sandra always had a bit of wanderlust, she came to truly cherish the beauty and history in her Rhode Island home. As she found new inspiration in the stories of the past and the lovely coastline, cities, and towns nearby, she began to dream up a jewelry collection. One that would capture the natural beauty and seafaring traditions she held so dear about the New England coast.
Even before a hammer strikes the metal or a sketch is rendered in a book every piece of jewelry begins its journey by the water. From the rugged texture of an old anchor chain to the discovery of a tiny shell, each bit of jewelry is lovingly inspired by elements of the sea and the history of her coastal home.
As a modern maker, Sandra feels a clear responsibility to craft beautiful things with proper respect for the earth and the future of our planet; therefore, all pieces are made from recycled metal.
