Satomi Studios is Kristina Kada's environmentally conscious jewelry line. Inspired by nature and science, and handcrafted on the coastal cliffs of Santa Cruz, CA, Kristina's contemporary designs start as a pencil sketch. Each piece is then translated into metal by using classic fabrication techniques of soldering, piercing, forging and wax carving to meld freehand elements with original castings. Kristina uses reclaimed metal and sources responsibly mined gemstones whenever possible.
