Sari Lorenzo's Overview

The SARIBLUE STORY: Sari had been leading a creative life vicariously through others since childhood by means of ardent artistic admiration for culture, history, film, art, music and fashion while working in a world of international high-tech. Finally last spring something called out to her: the historic Nazar Boncugu (the Evil Eye Bead). This calling developed into SariBlue, where she has been setting her creativity free. SariBlue was established in the spring of 2011, when Sari began crafting... earthy bohemian style jewelry with a bit of an industrial edge to some of the pieces and a cool, luxurious fashionable style to others, with the center of the entire collection being the fascinating Evil Eye Bead. SariBlue is an earthy, bohemian, wear-it-everyday jewelry collection centered on the power and theory of the universally recognizable symbol: the Evil Eye. Using glass beads handcrafted via ancient Eco-friendly methods, the collection ties together past and present in a distinctive way adding protection through the talisman. The SariBlue collection (Sari is pronounced “sutter” in Turkish meaning blonde/blondie/yellow) uses Turkish handmade glass beads which are made using centuries old traditional methods. Turkish artisans collect recycled glass pieces, mix them with special dyes and melt in their primitive adobe furnaces that burn naturally clean-burning pine logs. They shape the red hot molten glass, fuse colors together and create these amazing beads using only simple hand tools. Every bead fashioned has its own identity, lending every SariBlue piece its own allure. The SariBlue Jewelry Collection beads come directly from artisans who have learned the craft of making these historic beads through generations. Sari and her partner Big travel to Turkey to work directly with craftsmen for their collection. All designs are created by Sari and made in her shop outside of Boston, MA, USA. The collection includes: earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants, accessories, OOAK designs and amazing multicultural baby belly bells. The collection has designs for men and women. Sari loves to custom design pieces for couples, children or groups and would be happy to hear from you about your special request. As a very proud member of The Artisan Group, SariBlue's jewelry collection has been featured by The Artisan Group at The GBK Production's Luxury Gift Lounge honoring The 2012 Golden Globes, The 2012 Oscars, The 2012 MTV Movie Awards and will be a featured artisan at The 2012 46th Annual CMA Awards.
