ST. James
Founded in 1976, ST. James was born with the belief that the home is the most important place in people’s lives. We see the home as our sanctuary, our little island of comfort and well-being to shield us from the noise and stress of the outside world. We also strongly believe in the power of beauty to elevate our spirits, warm our hearts and help us lead a healthier, happier life. As such, our mission has always been to help make the home an ever-pleasant environment, where we can be surrounded by beauty and meaning everywhere we look. We do so by making beautiful, high quality, handcrafted design objects to entertain and decorate the home, always with a human touch.
ABOUT PRODUCT
As the years go by we get lost in daily matters and when we reevaluate our lives we see that we have left some dreams behind. With this conscience the designer starts a series of works seeking the rescue with her dreams and with her self-knowledge. The AURA Line is the first line with this rescue, part of her desire for jewelry inserted in its current context – the design – thus creating a jewelry for the home.
