About Us

Hi there! My name is Sara Mizrachi and I am the self-taught jewelry designer behind Sara Sela Jewelry, a woman owned small batch jewelry company based in Skokie, IL.

I've loved making jewelry since I was a kid. I loved the colors, shapes and textures of beads I would find, and one of favorite places was (and is) the Hall of Gems and Minerals at the American Museum of Natural Historry. Some of the fondest childhood memories I have are when I created and made new designs of jewelry for my mom, and she was always so overjoyed to receive her newest pieces of jewelry and to see what I thought up!

I was 13 when I had my first pivotal moment; I was making jewelry with my best friend and she was so elated about what I had made, this made me realize that I could make OTHER people happy with my jewelry and the dreams of running my own business began. I began to teach myself how to work with different materials like glass, crystal, gemstones and metals. I taught myself how to create connective pieces, how to secure necklaces and make earrings.

At 17, I went to the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC for Jewelry Design and I fell deeper in love with the colors, shapes and textures of gemstones and metals, and at 18, I opened my jewelry business and dove deeper into my skills of color matching and balancing elements together. I loved creating nd wearing beautiful statement necklaces filled with gemstones and color.

When I was 22, everything changed when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and underwent surgery that left me with a sensitive scar on my neck. I could no longer wear my full statement pieces and needed to make something simpler I could wear that wasn’t so heavy. I loved jewelry too much to give it away and I loved creating too much to stop. Being without it was not an option.

So, then I realized I could take my love of combining shapes, colors and textures to create simple statement pieces that elevate everyday looks, and now these timeless statement pieces help you to feel special and feel good without having to overthink your accessories, no matter if you’re a CEO, nurse on call or a busy mom of 3 (like me)!

Inspired by the raw beauty of the shapes, textures and colors found in nature, I use earthy colors and natural gemstones in combination with organic and geometric shapes for a uniquely balanced design. I love creating simple statement pieces for an elevated everyday look and I love designing versatile, timeless pieces to make you feel confidently styled, even on your busiest days.
