ABOUT ADESSO

Adesso Jewelry Designer Samantha GoldstoneAdesso, 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 committed herself to designing full-time in 2009.

Having traveled extensively over the last decade, Samantha 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. Every Adesso piece is an eclectic mix of vintage, modern, local and international style.

Adesso jewelry is created with a distinct combination of vintage and ethnic beads, semi-precious and precious stones and various metals, including sterling silver, gold, bronze and pewter. Samantha is particularly drawn to vintage glass, vintage African trade beads, antique silver and unusual semi-precious stones and charms. The line’s limited edition pieces are fresh and original, yet infused with beautiful elements of the past.

All Adesso products are handmade in Santa Barbara, CA. Adesso jewelry is sold in select boutiques and online retailers internationally as well as at www.adessoshop.com.
