Influencers in Jewelry Design: Sandy Baker

Manhattan jewelry designer and entrepreneur Sandy Baker is the owner and creative force behind Sandy Baker Art Collection. She claims she has been in the business for about 4,000 years, but it is probably closer to four decades. However, she has amassed such a huge amount of work, experiences, customers, and knowledge about the industry in that time that it would seem to be much longer than just four decades.

Her story is so different from all the other Influencer articles I have written. Sandy has broken countless barriers, from entering the jewelry world from a different direction than everyone else in the early ‘70s, to being one of a handful of women designers in jewelry at that time, to being the first African-American female to head her own jewelry company. And she has done it all with flash, finesse, panache, charisma and a uniquely Sandy-Baker style.
