Our Story: Saras Beads Jewellery

Inspired by the Mediterranean, Crafted with Soul

Saras Beads & Jewellery draws inspiration from the vibrant colours and timeless elegance of the Mediterranean Sea. Founded by Sarah, whose childhood in Beirut, Lebanon, deeply influences her designs, each piece reflects the beauty of nature and cultural heritage, crafted with passion and soul. Sarah's childhood in Beirut, Lebanon, and the vibrant colours of the Mediterranean served as a key inspiration for her initial bracelet designs, which form the heart of our story, Saras beads jewellery.

Our Journey

What started as a creative outlet during challenging times in 2020 has grown into a thriving UK-based brand. Beginning with handcrafted bracelets and necklaces, Saras Beads & Jewellery became a registered brand in the UK in 2021 and opened its first physical store in Harrow’s St. George's Shopping Centre in 2024. Early community support, especially from school stalls, fueled the brand’s expansion. The brand's first public appearances were at stalls in her children's schools, leading to positive community reception and expansion. This account of growth highlights the genuine connection Saras beads jewellery has with its customers.

Our Story in Few Milestones

SARAH'S INSPIRATION

Sarah was born and lived her childhood in Beirut, Lebanon. She founded Saras Beads and Jewellery. She started the business by making unique bracelets inspired by the colours of the Mediterranean Sea.

COMMUNITY SHOWCASE

Our first stall was at Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill and St. Nicholas Primary School, which later became Buxlow Primary School. These were the schools of our children, and we were able to showcase our products to both communities.

The success of those events motivated us to participate in other community events in Harrow, Wembley, and Edgeware.

EXPANDING MARKET REACH

Building on that, we started trading at Windsor, Burnt Oak, Watford, Gravesend, Headstone, Richmond, Romsey, Oxford, Bicester, Reading, Newbury, Southampton, Coventry, Enfield, the London Stock Exchange, the London Designer Outlet, Westfield Stratford, Westfield White City, Kensington, Fulham, Acton, and Islington.

STORE OPENING SUCCESS

We finally opened our first store at St. George’s Shopping Centre in Harrow.

It was all a combination of Sarah's persistence and consistency and the support of her family, Khalil, Yusuf, Mohamad, and Karim.

The journey started with beads and charms and evolved to include bespoke Sterling Silver and Handmade Gold Plated Jewellery with semi-precious stones.

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION JOURNEY

Saras Beads and Jewellery is a registered brand in the UK. It took the first step toward becoming an established brand, and there is much more exciting news to come.

All this wouldn’t have happened without the positive feedback, encouragement, and liking of our customers. They are the backbone of our success.
