Sailor’s Valentine

Rooted in the romance of the New England coast, Sailor’s Valentine is the thoughtful creation of Sandra Bonazoli, a jeweler and metalsmith who has devoted more than 30 years to her craft.








Though she’s long carried a sense of wanderlust, it was during the quiet stillness of the pandemic that Sandra found herself falling more deeply in love with her Rhode Island home. Surrounded by storied harbors, weathered anchor chains, and delicate shoreline treasures, a new vision slowly began to surface.

From that season came Sailor’s Valentine, a jewelry collection honoring the natural beauty and enduring traditions of coastal New England.

Designed and prototyped in her little Water Street studio and available for purchase at Beehive Handmade, every style is crafted from recycled brass with a protective finish and finished with silver and gold-filled components.
