Our Story: Saras Beads Jewellery

Inspired by the Mediterranean, Crafted with Soul

Our Journey

What began as a simple hobby has blossomed into a thriving business dedicated to crafting unique, handmade jewellery and accessories. Inspired by the serene beauty of the Mediterranean Sea and the wonders of nature, our designs reflect its vibrant colours and timeless elegance, but our story goes deeper than just beautiful pieces. Sarah’s childhood in Beirut, Lebanon, and the vibrant colours of the Mediterranean served as a key inspiration for her initial bracelet designs.

Founded by Sarah, a jewellery artisan with a deep love for creativity, Saras Beads & Jewellery started as a way to capture happy moments through handcrafted bracelets and necklaces. Saras Beads & Jewellery was founded in the UK in December 2021 by Sarah as a way to cope with difficult times by creating unique, handmade beaded bracelets and necklaces. Saras Beads & Jewellery became a registered brand in the UK in 2021. Discover our story — our workshop is where magic happens daily—where skilled hands pour their hearts into transforming raw sterling silver, lustrous gold-plated elements, and nature’s most stunning gems into wearable art. Our workshop is truly a happy place, filled with joy and comfort for both creators and customers alike. From the moment we select each semi-precious stone to the final polish of every clasp, we’re driven by one simple truth: you deserve jewellery as extraordinary as you are.

Each meticulously crafted piece tells a story of timeless elegance, perfect for everyday wear or special occasions, reflecting the passion behind Saras Beads jewellery.

From Beads to Bespoke: Our Evolution

Our journey began with simple beadwork and charm bracelets, but as our passion grew, so did our designs. The brand’s first public appearances were at stalls in her children’s schools, leading to positive community reception and expansion. Today, our collection includes a diverse range of handmade jewellery and accessories, all designed for everyday elegance—perfect for daily wear while adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit:

Our Signature Collections

Every piece tells a story, blending Mediterranean-inspired tradition with modern elegance. Saras Beads & Jewellery incorporates cultural elements, like the evil eye charm, rooted in Lebanese and Middle Eastern traditions, and draws inspiration from the wonders of the Mediterranean and natural world:

The Copper Turquoise Series - Our signature collection features stunning turquoise stones, believed to attract good fortune, enhance wisdom, and provide protection during life’s journeys. Copper turquoise earrings come in an impressive array of designs. Classic designs of copper turquoise earrings often feature a sterling silver setting. Genuine turquoise stone is essential for ensuring the lasting beauty of copper turquoise earrings. It is important to consider the quality of the materials when selecting copper turquoise earrings, as this ensures their durability and aesthetic appeal. Copper turquoise earrings make a perfect gift for a variety of occasions, offering a blend of beauty and meaningful symbolism. Green copper turquoise earrings offer a fresh interpretation of traditional designs, adding a unique and vibrant touch to the collection. Additionally, turquoise is the birthstone for December, giving copper turquoise earrings extra significance for those born in that month.

Sterling Silver Classics - Timeless pieces that transition beautifully from day to evening, featuring hand-forged silver and carefully matched bead combinations. Saras Beads & Jewellery also offers pure 925 sterling silver jewellery made of real zirconia stones, ensuring both quality and elegance.

Seasonal & Bespoke Creations - We take pride in creating custom designs that celebrate individuality, whether it’s a delicate pendant, a bold statement ring, or a personalized bookmark.

The Art of Handmade Craftsmanship

In a world of mass production, we believe in the beauty of handmade jewellery and accessories. Each item in our collection is carefully crafted to ensure exceptional quality and unique character—no two designs are ever exactly alike. Every piece is made to stand the test of time, ensuring lasting beauty and durability.

Jewellery making is an art form that allows us to pour passion, care, and attention into every piece. Our handmade accessories, such as beaded keychains and bookmarks, add a special personal touch that makes every item feel meaningful. Unlike mass-produced pieces, every creation in our collection is lovingly handcrafted by skilled artisans who understand that true beauty lies in the details.

This jewellery collection from Saras Beads showcases timeless elegance and spiritual healing benefits, meticulously crafted for those with sensitive skin, making it a perfect gift for any occasion.

Spiritual & Healing Benefits

Jewellery is more than just decoration—it's a companion for life's journey. Many cultures have long valued sterling silver for its spiritual and healing properties, using it for protection, energy balancing, and as a natural antimicrobial metal.

The gemstones in our designs also carry unique healing energies. Our copper turquoise collection, for instance, draws on ancient beliefs about protection and wisdom. Many of our customers tell us their Saras gemstone jewellery pieces become their "lucky charm" or daily reminder of their inner strength.

Finding My Passion in Tough Times

Saras Beads & Jewellery began as a hobby to capture happy moments through handmade bracelets and necklaces. Each piece is crafted with love, turning challenging times into beautiful creations that bring joy and positivity to others.

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.
