Sacha Jarmon’s story begins not in the bustling offices of corporate America or the glitzy runways of international fashion, but in the heart of her childhood home in Santa Monica, California. Raised by a mother who was a professional stone and wood sculptor, Sacha was surrounded by art in its most raw and inspiring forms. Contemporary, androgynous sculptures dotted their living spaces, each piece a silent muse, sparking young Sacha’s imagination.
“My mom has always been my muse,” Sacha recalls with a smile. “She’s this incredible creative force, and growing up around her work, I was constantly inspired. She would give me these unconventional art projects—beadwork with precious and semi-precious stones—when I was just a child. That’s how I started creating jewelry, selling it on our front lawn instead of lemonade.”
This early exposure to art and entrepreneurship sowed the seeds for what would later become Sacha’s life work. It wasn’t just about making something beautiful; it was about the joy of creation, the confidence of owning one’s product, and the deep, intrinsic connection between mother and daughter.
A Winding Path: From Fashion to Real Estate
As with many creative souls, Sacha’s career journey was anything but linear. After her childhood days of selling jewelry on her front lawn, she embarked on an international career in fashion. The glitz and glamour of the fashion world, with its endless opportunities for creativity, seemed like a natural fit. But as the years passed, Sacha found herself yearning for something more grounded, something that spoke to her on a deeper level.
Feeling lost and unsure of her next steps, Sacha transitioned into a role in talent acquisition, and eventually, she joined her father’s real estate development company in Colorado. There, she managed everything from legal compliance to accounting and investor relations. It was a far cry from the creative world she had once thrived in, but it taught her invaluable lessons about business management and the importance of structure in creativity.
“I ran the whole office,” she says, reflecting on those years. “It was all the non-sexy things that are so important to running a business. It grounded me in a way I didn’t expect, but I knew something was still missing.”
Love Saro: A Beacon in the Pandemic
The missing piece fell into place in the most unexpected of times—the height of the global pandemic. The world was in turmoil, and like many, Sacha found herself grappling with anxiety, fear for her children’s well-being, and the uncertainty of what the future held. It was during this time, while working from home and caring for her young family, that she returned to her first love: jewelry-making.
“I needed that creative outlet, that way to connect with my mom and my community,” she explains. “I started photographing my pieces on my mom’s sculptures, and it hit me—we had something truly special. Her lines and textures, combined with my detailed work, created this beautiful synergy. That’s how Love Saro was born.”
Love Saro is more than just a jewelry studio; it’s a celebration of the bond between mother and daughter, and a testament to the power of creativity to heal and connect. The studio’s approach is ceremonial, with each piece of jewelry crafted to commemorate life’s special moments, a nod to the deep emotional connections that inspired its creation.
Lessons in Resilience and Creativity
Sacha’s journey is rich with lessons for anyone looking to merge creativity with entrepreneurship. One of the most powerful takeaways from her story is the importance of resilience—how she navigated multiple career changes, only to return to her creative roots when the world seemed to be falling apart.
“There’s something incredibly grounding about returning to what you love, especially in times of crisis,” she says. “For me, it was jewelry. For someone else, it might be something different. But I think it’s essential to find that thing that gives you joy and a sense of purpose, especially when everything else feels out of control.”
Another key lesson is the value of collaboration and connection. By working with her mother, Sacha has not only strengthened their relationship but also created a business that thrives on the unique contributions each of them brings to the table.
“My mom and I feed off each other creatively in really beautiful ways,” she says. “It’s more than just a business partnership; it’s a way to keep each other accountable, to make sure we’re both making time for the things that truly matter.”
A Philosophy of Creativity and Connection
At the heart of Sacha’s work is a simple but profound philosophy: that creativity is not just about making something new, but about making something meaningful. It’s about using your gifts to connect with others, to celebrate life’s moments, and to find joy even in the most challenging times.
“I believe that creativity is a form of resilience,” she says. “It’s about finding light in the darkness, about connecting with others in meaningful ways. That’s what Love Saro is all about—creating pieces that aren’t just beautiful, but that carry meaning, that tell a story.”
As Sacha continues to grow Love Saro alongside her mother, she remains grounded in the lessons of her past and the inspiration that has fueled her journey. Her story is a reminder that the paths we take are rarely straightforward, but it’s in the twists and turns that we often find our true calling.
