Saint Claude, Jewelry

Sarah Killen Ellman is the artist and designer behind Saint Claude, a New Orleans-based brand known for its unique and handcrafted designs. Originally drawn to welding and furniture-making, Sarah moved to New Orleans twenty years ago with a passion for working with her hands and creating tangible work.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, her creative path shifted. What began as a series of explorations evolved into a cohesive artistic vision—ultimately becoming Saint Claude. The jewelry line is named after a street in the Bywater neighborhood where her first studio was located.

Saint Claude represents the intersection of fine art, nature, and design. Each piece reflects Sarah’s commitment to storytelling through personal style and art.
