San Francisco, California-based jewelry designer Liza Sonia  has a heart of gold, but you won't find the gold in her designer jewelry – just the heart. Her bold, custom pieces are crafted from high quality silver, semi-precious stones, and shells, and one often finds that the materials themselves dictate the shape they take.

 

The Mexican born designer's necklaces and rings are colorful, intricate, and highly individual celebrations of “ethnic-lite” couture for women in their professional years. She groups stone and shell necklaces by element – earth, water, air, and fire, and, interestingly – heaven. This type of spiritual infusion to things born of the earth seems to be what Liza Sonia is winking at in her art.

Liza Sonia's silver pendants are chunky, but more subtle than the necklaces. More reserved, even, than her silver necklace line, which is heavily detailed and reminiscent of an executive's (or a classier girl's) Michal Negrin. There is a healthy, robust, outdoor feeling to Liza Sonia's jewelry – perhaps as a result of being inspired by street boutiques in Thailand and Argentina, two of more than 40 countries she visited on her post-corporate, pre-artisan discovery trek.
