Sayulita Sol Jewelry

General information

Designer Kimberley "Flor" Keehn grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She began making jewelry as a young girl, and later professionally beginning in 1995. It was always her designs that her apart. Flor had not only exceptional pieces, but more importantly, stones that no one else had. Her designs were clean, simple, wearable and unique. In June of 2004 she opened the doors of Sayulita Sol Jewelry and people streamed inside. They haven’t stopped since. Just one year later, she leased the shop next to her, doubling the size of the shop. Today, Flor has a beautiful store filled with jewelry in sterling silver, 14K gold, gold-fill and gems that match every color of the rainbow. She designs mostly everything she sells. Flor hand selects all of the materials that are used in her jewelry, as she always has. Every February she travels to Tucson, Arizona to of the world’s largest international gem shows. Here, she meets with sellers from all over the world and chooses the stones for her store from an enormous variety. She has to pick the type of gemstone, the shape of it, its quality, its size, its cut. And she has to know, from a design standpoint, if she is going to be able to sell each stone, and if so in what kind of a piece or setting. It is a bit like predicting the future, but Flor seems to be able to do just that.
