Sophia Portolese Jewelry is ‘elegant everyday wear’ meant for the most tender and love-filled souls. I’m currently a student at Cal Poly Humboldt studying philosophy, and now, adding a second degree in studio art. My first semester here I stumbled into the jewelry studio and have been in love with metal ever since. Sophia Portolese Jewelry is a product of the past few years; inspired by my work at Daisy’s Mercantile managing their jewelry department, and now in the last year, being behind a bench actually making it. The intention behind many of my pieces is to exhibit the natural beauty of each stone with sleek and simple (looking) designs. My work is all about admiring natural beauty and the little hidden, yet imperative, details that often go unnoticed. These hidden designs are specifically meant for the wearer of each piece to appreciate, showing that not all art has to be put on display, sometimes it is more precious when kept as a secret between the artist and the owner.
