The granddaughter of a Chicago watchmaker and jeweler, I launched my own version of a jewelry business, combining interesting beads from all ends of the earth, metals, silk threads and a bit of imagination.

It's funny, I never meant for Sarah Kate to become a "business." I started out creating jewelry that I liked, which is petite, asymmetric and leans toward mother earth. I gave away several pieces to friends as gifts, and from old-fashioned word of mouth, Sarah Kate mushroomed into something slightly larger than I had in mind. A nice surprise, to say the least.

My interest in jewelry design has extended into using my gems to support three not-for-profit organizations that are near and dear to me: the National Eating Disorders Association, the Lupus Research Institute, and the Lupus Foundation of Illinois. A portion of the proceeds of the Life Without Ed™ and Living With Lupus sterling silver jewelry lines benefit each organization.

I named this fun jewelry venture after my daughter as a small way to show my appreciation for her. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy creating it.
