About Sara Jaqua Scarves & Jewelry
Each original, one of a kind piece starts with a vintage Italian silk tie. It's very satisfying to rescue beautiful vintage silk ties from obscurity (or a forgotten drawer) and give them new life. Pairing two ties to make a double sided scarf or matching a stone or vintage pendant to a silk tie is part of the creative process.
01
Preparing the Silk
Each tie is de-structured, gently washed, air dried and pressed, then hand-sewn into neck bands, lariats and cuffs using long lasting thread.
02
Choosing the Stones
Semi precious stones and vintage pendants wait for their perfect match.
03
Creating the Piece
Chains are antique silver or matte gold, electroplated onto brass. They are free of lead, nickel, cadmium, and other irritating components. Clasps are 18k gold or sterling silver.
Stores
