Sorellina

Adesso, which means "now" or "in the moment" in Italian, is a jewelry line created by Santa Barbara artist, Samantha Goldstone. Samantha has been making jewelry since childhood and began designing full-time in 2009.

Having traveled extensively over the last decade, Goldstone has found that her local and far-away journeys influence her inspiration, materials and design. Incorporating treasures from her travels into her jewelry infuses every piece with its own unique story.

In January 2011, Adesso has expanded the brand and introduced the ‘Sorellina’ jewelry collection. ‘Sorellina,’ Italian for ’little sister,’ still carries Adesso’s inherent style, but at price points that are more accessible to a broader market. At a retail price point below $300, Sorellina has a bohemian, vibrant and eclectic look and feel, perfect for building a jewelry wardrobe. The collection includes necklaces, bracelets, and earrings created with wood, vintage glass, gold plate, sterling silver chain, various stones, vintage fabric, Indian aluminum, and gold and sterling silver plated charms.

All Sorellina products are handmade in Santa Barbara, CA.

Adesso jewelry is sold in better boutiques nationwide as well as their website at www.adessoshop.com and Sorellina will be sold online and in retail stores soon as well.
