Inspired by the brilliant beauty of gemstones and her love for design, Sarah Berardi established Grazia Jewelry, a couture collection of handcrafted jewelry. Ms. Berardi's unique collection was soon discovered in New York at Henri Bendel's legendary "open see" event. Her presence in Henri Bendel over the next several years launched her collection and expanded her brand throughout the New York City area and beyond. Soon after her launch at Henri Bendel, Ms. Berardi participated in the accessories exhibit at New York's Olympus Fashion week, and began working with wardrobe stylists and photographers around the world.
Grazia Jewelry has since found itself in stores across America and in the personal collections of such celebrities as Oprah Winfrey, Juliette Lewis, Meredith Veira, Giada de Laurentis, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Laura Linney.
Italian-American self taught artisan, Ms. Berardi has developed a distinct collection of intricately designed couture gemstone jewelry, handcrafting each piece with an artistic expertise and extraordinary detail. Ms. Berardi draws on the essence of early Phoenician, Indian and Italian jewelry as a continual influence each season.
