Introductions
Sara Jacobson is a NYC-born artist and sculptor based in London. She received an MA from the Royal College of Art in Jewellery & Metal. Originally drawn to large-scale sculpture, she became fascinated by the immediacy and physicality of working with metal. Jewelry was initially a byproduct of that exploration, but became central after living and working at Gem Palace in Jaipur, she became immersed in historic craftsmanship and the emotional weight objects carry across generations.
Across her work, the body remains the constant, rooted in periods of both connection and disconnection from it. Jewelry is Jacobson’s reconnection, sculpture that lives with the body instead of beside it: adorned objects as comforting instruments that can be touched, heard, held, and returned to instinctively.
About the Jewelry
“ As Kierkegaard said, ‘anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.’ ”
Sara Katherine Jacobson jewelry lives somewhere inside that. Love objects made to distract you, comfort you, and become a part of you. Jewelry that functions like a friend, you reach for it without needing to explain why.
Each piece is designed to be handled as much as worn. Stones rattle inside cages like a game, rings turn with pressure points against the finger, metals warm to the skin. Many are inward-facing by design, meant more for you and the private relationship built within.
Influenced by Victorian jewelry and childhood objects hidden in pockets, Jacobson approaches jewelry as both an emotional object and a technical challenge. Many pieces are reverse-engineered, built around trapped stones, or push boundaries in lattice structures. At the center of it all, the objects we carry, wear, protect, and love become extensions of ourselves.
