Each year around this time, I’ve been compelled to discount my handmade jewelry even though it never feels quite right. So this year, I’m taking a different route. I want to celebrate the holiday season with you in a way that reflects my values. So, throughout the month of November, I've planned something special – a series of exciting jewelry giveaways!

At S. Howell Studios, my passion for creating handcrafted jewelry is deeply intertwined with a commitment to preserving the planet we call home. I believe every piece of jewelry should not only inspire but also contribute to a sustainable future. Here’s a look at the choices I’m making toward a greener, more responsible world.

In a world that often rushes by, your jewelry should be more than just adornment; it should be an expression of your connection to nature, a reminder to slow down and a celebration of individuality.

As I sit down to reflect on the remarkable journey that led me to win the Halstead Grant this year, I’m delighted, honored, grateful and filled with a sense of accomplishment.

...That's where S. Howell Studios jewelry comes in—a collection of wearable art designed to inspire you to embrace the present moment and immerse yourself in the wonders of life.

These cuff bracelets are designed to inspire you to recharge in nature. To remind you of a moment in time when you felt connected and present, nestled into a pristine mountainous landscape, soaking up a lakeside view or watching wild animals in their natural habitat. 

Every step of the process in bringing my jewelry to life is done with intention. Each and every piece that comes out of my little studio is meant to inspire you to slow down, connect to yourself, connect with nature and soak up the beauty in life.
