Hey Friends!
What are Sample Flash Sales?
These are randomly planned sales that I will be periodically offering, featuring items not yet in the shop. Sometimes I get a few sample stones, or can order them, from my suppliers. Sometimes I have overstock of gems I've purchased over the years. Sometimes, I order gems but haven't yet decided what designs to make. And sometimes, I have gems that I can no longer find or order.
Sample Flash Sales are a great way for me to use these gems to create more gorgeous pieces and offer them to you at a special price. You get a great deal and I get to experiment and see what you like most. Win win!
There are times when I do add pieces from these sales to the shop. Getting them during a flash sale is a steal!
These sales will take place on Instagram, so be sure to follow and request updates. Even better, sign up for our emails as from here on out I will let everyone know when the next sale will take place. We don't send endless spam.. promise ;)
How do Sample Flash Sales work?
I will post an item for sale, listing what the retail price would be, sale price, item details and how many are available. Sometimes there are multiples, but many times there is only 1. If you want an item, comment "SOLD" as fast as you can. The first to comment get the available item. Each post on Insta is a new flash sale item. This may last 1 day, or several, typically over a weekend.
As always, feel free to contact us with questions! XOXO

A new milestone for Saressa Designs happened on 9/7/2023. We've spotted a piece or two on repeat within a series before ( CW's All American ), but never in consecutive episodes before.
Not only was our Crest Necklace worn on season 5 of Virgin River… it was used in 6 consecutive episodes! Excuse me while I go pick up my jaw. Lark, played by Elise Gatien, is a newcomer to the show making her first appearance in episode 5 - Trial by Fire. Our necklace adorns her from her entry to the show all the way through episode 10!
We are so excited, and continue to be filled with gratitude at not only having the opportunity to have our pieces worn on screen, but also the privilege of being chosen among the downpour of gorgeous accessories from talented artists that are available.
If you're a fan of the show, we truly hope you enjoy this season and all the surprises ahead. We can't wait to see the conclusion of season 5 this Nov!

Well color me happy! Our Swing earrings were spotted on season 5 of Cobra Kai, worn by none other than the adorable Samantha LaRusso ( Mary Mouser ).
I get that the imbedded photo is not quality, but I don’t even care. 😂. This is authentic joy with an iphone on screen record at work. They were worn during a fight scene at night, Proving you can kick some tail and look great doing it.
Karate Kid was my favorite movie growing up, so it is just so much fun to experience. Also, nothing beats your teen sons yelling ‘let’s go mom!’ The nostalgia is hefty and I am here for it!
You can find our Swing Earrings in Peach Moonstone shown here, in rainbow Moonstone and raw Aquamarine in the shop!

Saressa Designs was recently spotted on This is Us and we couldn't be more excited. Our Argonaut Hoops in 14k Gold Filled were worn on the character Deja ( Lyric Ross ) on the season 4 Fall finale of the show titled So Long Marianne.
It is always so humbling to see a piece I made on screen and I could not be more grateful for these opportunities. This was the 2nd piece of Saressa Designs jewelry that has been used on the show to date. You can shop the pieces worn on This is Us by clicking on the 'Seen on Screen ' tab at the top of the home page.

Saressa Designs may be a small indie jewelry line, but big things have been taking place in our small studio! Last year was wonderful, and we couldn't be happier with love and support our fans and community put forth. Some of our favorite highlights for 2014 include hopping on board with Blake Lively's lifestyle website Preserve, seeing our Finn Necklace on The Vampire Diaries (and all over the season 6 promo adverts) and having our jewels on display at the GBK Celebrity Gift Lounge honoring the Primetime Emmys.
Then yesterday came news that was the cherry on top of the already fabulous cake! We were informed that actress Chelsea Kane (Baby Daddy, One Tree Hill, The Homes, Dancing With The Stars, etc) was styled for ABC's 25 Days Of Christmas Celebration in NYC this past December in our Spearhead Earrings! I will confess to having taken her photo to my stylist when I chopped my long hair off a few years ago (girl's got great hair), so I nearly dropped my phone when I read the news and saw the pic!
Below are credited photos of these incredible highlights in 2014. 2015 is already shaping up to be another fantastic year for this small family business.

When I started designing jewelry 10 years ago, my expectations were pretty small. I just wanted to make a cohesive, quality item I could wear and wanted to wear. Then, when I made the plunge into the abyss of online artists via Etsy, my dream was to actually sell something. Still pretty modest right? As an indie designer, I’ve always strived to make pieces that, while mainstream in the respect that they’re wire wrapped, stand out as original and express individuality in their presentation. There’s always that hope that something big can happen but also the reality that there is a sea of talented designers with the same hope. With that being said, you can imagine the excitement that has blossomed over time while holding on to this piece of news. And now I get to share it with you all!
Blake Lively is launching a new website next week, on the 23rd of July, titled Preserve. Among other things, the site will feature artisan made items that Blake has hand-picked to showcase in a gorgeous collective. Saressa Designs is going to be among those artisans, and I can’t begin to express how excited I am to be a part of this! Follow along and see how some of our designs are styled by going to the pre-launch page here: http://www.preserve.us/
See if you can spot our jewelry and stay tuned for more details as they become available. This project has been in the works for quite a while now, and it’s beyond words to finally see this milestone come to pass. Here’s to a long lasting partnership with the incredible Blake Lively and team at Preserve.

I have some fun news to share with you guys! As many of you may know, Saressa Designs jewelry has shown up in some incredible places over the last few months, including GBK’s New York Fashion Week and Primetime Emmy’s Luxury Lounges, and the The Vampire Diaires. My most recent press release has more details, including celebs who loved their Saressa Designs jewelry: http://www.prweb.com/releases/SaressaDesigns/TheVampireDiaries/prweb11283605.htm
Alysia Reiner, of Orange is the New Black, wore her Arrow necklace to the Seth Meyers cover party, celebrating Gotham Magazine’s October 2013 issue. You can see her in photo #6 here: http://gotham-magazine.com/galleries/seth-meyers-october-cover-party-celebration-at-sanctuary-hotel
Ok, time to cut to the chase. So last night, the talented and adorable Selena Gomez performed live at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, putting on an outstanding show to a sold-out arena of fans. The concert was part of her Stars Dance world tour, celebrating her new album. During the after party back-stage, Selena and her crew were gifted swag bags from The Artisan Group. Among the goodies, Selena received one of our Valkyrie necklaces, and a selection of crew members each received an Argonaut necklace (pyrite nuggets)

Both of these are available here at SaressaDesigns.com, we well as in my Etsy shop and at select boutiques. The holidays are fast approaching, and these would make wonderful gifts! Be sure to add them to your wish list so friends and family members know where to find them as well.
