In 2007 Sarah founded her eponymous company Sarah Healy Design while living in Brooklyn NY. A conceptual jewelry brand that is all handmade and produced in the USA. Sarah earned a B.F.A. degree from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where she learned the art of metal-smithing. After college she went on to work in the New York City Fashion Industry while continuing to produce jewelry on the side. As she learned more of the corporate fashion world’s impact on the environment, she decided to instead focus her efforts on building a sustainable, eco-friendly, handmade business from the ground up. Offering original keepsakes to bring out the individual in everyone, that will go on to stand the test of time.
Sarah Healy’s jewelry is sold all over the world, online and through a variety of well known retailers. With roots selling in Henri Bendel, Bloomingdales, Foley & Corinna, Steven Alan, TG-170, Otto, Hankyu in Japan and many more. Sarah has expanded her territory over the years with independently owned boutiques and galleries across the United States. All aspects of design and production are handled in-house, including wax carving, metal-smithing, gold plating and custom work. With a conscious effort to ensure the best quality materials and craftsmanship go into every design.
By infusing her interest in history, symbolism, ancient sites, cultures, geometry, sculpture and nature, Sarah aims to invoke the same sense of wonder into each piece of jewelry she makes. While creating and sharing beautiful items with the world is very important to her, being able to help the planet and other beneficial causes is equally important. Sarah is a huge lover of animals and donates portions of proceeds from some of the animal inspired pieces to the ASPCA and other animal rescue groups as well as to various humanitarian causes.
After more than a decade of working and living in Brooklyn, Sarah moved her operation from NYC to her home state of Connecticut. Nestled among the pastoral hills of Litchfield County, her current studio is located in Morris, CT. In addition to her jewelry company, Sarah opened an online store called Afterlife Shoppe where she buys and sells rare vintage clothing, jewelry and accessories, antique collectables, and up-cycled designs. It is here where her original love of fashion continues and is an eco-friendly way to still participate in the fashion world sustainably. After almost 20 years of jewelry design and production, Sarah Healy Design continues to produce well crafted, timeless pieces that are loved by people all over the world.
