SARAH kILLEN

owner | sa int cl aude

Sarah killen has been making jewelry for over ten years. Her company Saint Claude, named after the Bywater street where her first studio was located, is now housed in a hundred and twenty five year old shotgun double in the Irish Channel. Sarah creates original designs in wax, favoring local flora and fauna, indigenous creatures and 18th century architectural details. Shen then casts them in sterling silver, brass and twenty four carat gold using the lost wax technique. Some necklaces are delicate, some rings are bold–all of her adornments reference Crescent City curiosities and antique ornamentation. M y pieces represent the duality of beauty and darkness so often found in my beloved New Orleans.
