Adesso Information

Adesso, which means "now" or "in the moment" in Italian, is a jewelry line created by Santa Barbara artist Samantha Goldstone. Samantha has been making jewelry since childhood and recently committed herself to designing full-time. Samantha has traveled extensively over the last decade and has found that her local and far-away journeys influence her inspiration, materials and design. She finds treasures on each trip that are incorporated into her jewelry, making every piece unique with its own story. Every Adesso piece is an eclectic mix of vintage, modern, local and international style. Adesso jewelry is created with a distinct combination of vintage and ethnic beads, semi-precious and precious stones and various metals, including sterling silver, gold, bronze and pewter. Samantha is particularly drawn to vintage glass, vintage African trade beads, antique silver and unusual semi-precious stones and charms. Adesso’s one-of-a-kind jewelry is fresh and original, yet infused with beautiful elements of the past. Samantha, a young adult cancer survivor, is committed to helping children and young adults coping with chronic and terminal illnesses. A percentage of Adesso’s profits and time will be donated to related causes.
