New York-based fine jewelry designer St. Clair showcases her works alongside influential memories, images, and stories. Early pages describe and illustrate the dominant visual recollections of the artist's Southern upbringing and early indications of her calling, as well as photographs from her family's quite extensive travels through Europe. As an adult, the artist has lived in Florence, Italy and traveled the world finding inspiration in Ancient Egyptian motifs, plankton fossils, and Turkish architecture, among other sights.
