Some of you may be familiar with the Bonebakker family, and their 200 year long journey through the jewelry trade. Legacies in this business don't end in a single lifetime, which is a beautiful way to continue the passion of design through the decades.




Meet Sarah Appleton, a jewelry designer based in Paris, France, who is a descendent of the family. Her unique style of crafting displays a level of minimalism and gracefulness that we very deeply admire.



At a very young age, Sarah had already taken great interest in the glittering world of jewelry design, influenced by her mother who was also an artist as well. Hand-crafted jewelry is Sarah's specialty, and she draws inspiration from multiple facets of jewelry history- such as studying estate heirlooms, native American techniques, and modern methodologies.




She moved to Paris in 2012 to pursue her passion for creating original pieces. With a team of craftsmen at her side, she makes and finishes her jewelry at the center of Paris, utilizing the best qualities available when sourcing her stones, gold and other materials. As an ethical thinker, Sarah also makes sure that all the elements of her jewelry are conflict-free, meaning that none of them involved the abuse of workers or their livelihoods in any way.




She has also caught the French public's eye for modern impact, and dutifully defines her own creations by the best of their standards. Seeking to go for a timeless, graceful theme, she imbues her pieces with the utmost of care and detail at every step of the manufacturing process.
