THE CREATOR

Sarah Abaza has been immersed in the rich history of the ancient world from a young age. Cairo, her birthplace, is an intoxicating city stretching along the Nile. Full of passion, intrigue and dark, smoky corners, its influence on Sarah was profound. Fast forward to 2007, charmed by her grandmother’s collection of timeless fine jewelry, and the Egyptian traditions of her youth, Sarah began designing her own pieces. One of her first pieces, a gift as a small child, was a delicate serpent bracelet- a powerful symbol denoting sovereignty, royalty, deity and divine authority in ancient day Egypt.
After studying at the Gemological Institute of America, Sarah exited her corporate life working in Social Environmental Development, to immerse herself in the ancient studies of symbolism and the craftsmanship of fine jewelry.
Not surprisingly, the unique pieces attracted attention from her friends. A luxurious talismanic approach, her use of hieroglyphics, amulets and iconic Egyptian symbols interpreted in contemporary settings, elegantly reimagined, eventually caught the eyes of vivacious young Egyptian editors and stylists alike and soon Sarah had launched her namesake collection. Sarah lives in Toronto with her family, where she continues to find inspiration everyday.
