Sadie Ray Cooper grew up in the artist enclaves of Venice, California and Taos, New Mexico. She first started making jewelry with her grandmother Gloria during summer vacations. Gloria traveled the country in her Airstream, mining and collecting gems and minerals, was a silversmith, and lapidarist. Inheriting Gloria’s tools and inspiration, Sadie continues to make handcrafted jewelry from her home studio in Nambe, New Mexico. She is pleased to have the opportunity to share her treasures with you
