My name is Sara Pocius and I’m owner and designer at Sea Pony Studio. All of the designs you’ll find here are dreamed up in Chicago — a city filled with both bustle and beauty. A city that continually fuels my creativity as I create pieces as original as the individuals who wear them.

While I absolutely love designing custom pieces for my clients, I also understand instant gratification! So in addition to my custom design services, I offer a collection of ready-to-buy pieces and my fashionably smart customizable Sea Pony wrap bracelets that will feed your love of everything sparkly.

I strongly believe in the undeniable connection of jewelry and emotions. Beyond the powers of gemstones and metal, individuals attach personal joy, nostalgia and moxie to their most beloved pieces. I invite you to explore the designs, to find jewelry that speaks to you and to discover a piece you can never imagine being without.

But if you already know that an extra special piece of jewelry is what you’re seeking, please contact me to start the custom design process.

My  journey

Some of my earliest memories are of “making” things (friendship bracelets, recipes, annoying knock knock jokes) and sharing my creations with as many people as I could. Which appropriately landed me in a successful career as an advertising art director. But after a decade of designing marketing for big, faceless corporations, I needed to channel my insatiable desire to create into a much smaller and more personal space.

A simple bracelet class at the local beading store rekindled love with jewelry making and set me on course to creating Sea Pony Studio. My journey has taken me through beading, macrame, metalsmithing and finally to my new line of fine jewelry coming soon. I’ve come full circle — creating, imagining, dreaming up and sharing my creations with you.
