…and more wonderings with jewelry designer, Sarah Pauli.
Author: R.R. Shakti, PhD
Sarah Pauli is gentle. and brilliant. She is the kind of creative that you want to listen to… closely, because you don’t want to miss the meaning inside the tenderness. It is clear that she finds inspiration everywhere—across the entire universe, in nature and through all of life. I met Sarah at the Sedona Yoga Festival years ago. She and her jewelry both sparkled in the sunlight as we passed by her tent. Sarah gifted my daughter a stunning necklace which she treasures to this day. As an artist, she chooses and uses the “feels” of color like magical rasa and I wanted to talk with her myself about what makes her art reflect its special kind of beauty. Before the interview, I sent her a list of questions to help initiate and orient our conversation. By the time we were together, those questions had become further inspiration for her work. Because she just can’t help it. She lives in a world of inspiration. creation. and wonder. 
My jewelry is a celebration of the subtle, the honoring of the subtle, not just for myself, but for others. When a person is wearing something I create, I want them to feel a connection to the subtle. It's about poetry. It's about beauty—the juiciness of being human—being in this moment, being alive, feeling the empowerment that comes with feeling yourself. And not even, always empowerment in a big way, but just the ease of really feeling that things are in the right places…that things are in balance somehow.
We're meant to be here to experience beauty. It is actually vital. It's life force. Bringing in a stone that you found on your walk, it gives you joy when you look at it…or just honoring how we create our living spaces…or how we bring rhythm to our day. It is up to us to see the world through this lens of beauty—nurturing it and actually honoring it. I'm always striving for that. I've realized that it is essential. I used to struggle with the concern that making jewelry—creating art: Is it something superficial? Is it non-essential? But now I have come to realize that it is a vital part of being human. We all have a creative impulse. Creating beauty is a divine offering. – Sarah Pauli
