Handmade in New York City, Saundra Messinger jewelry is done primarily in Sterling Silver with a signature shimmering matte finish. The sandblasted finish creates a unique perspective of sterling silver that accentuates the metals' many facets. Since debuting her collection in 2000, Saundra's work has been widely recognized by the jewelry and fashion industry for its unique and cutting edge design. Early in her career she was chosen as one of ten 'New Designers of the Year' by The Jewelry Design Guild of America and as a 'Rising Star" by the Fashion Group International. Saundra's designs have been featured in magazines, in newspapers and on television, including Vogue, Instyle, Lucky, Real Simple and EXTRA. Her designs have been seen on tv and in the movies, worn by Julianna Margulies, Diane Keaton, Debra Messing and many others.
