Dezso

The stylist turned designer. Sara Beltran started her fashion career in New York as a stylist. After 12 years of living in New York, the artist now calls Jaïpur home.

Her childhood romance with beach life and seashells always lingered in the back of her mind, and literally, on the shell necklace she handmade for fun.

The line called Dezso, Latin for Desire and her love for the ocean continues to emerge in her latest pieces. She travels to different beaches around the world for constant inspiration.

A lot of her pieces are shells that she picks from the ocean and then makes a mold and then casts in 18 carats gold, mostly pink gold. She loves using raw material as polki diamonds, kyanites stones, fossilized shark teeth and fossilized shells.

Now being in Jaipur, she has discovered a whole new world in stones, as she is doing her own carved stones in shape of shells. Colors are always inspired by the ocean and by special moments in her life. Its known that surfers use shark tooth for protection when going in the water.
