Our Mission and Process

The artistic mission of Saint Claude was always to imbue everyday adornments with significance and history, pushing the wearer to see more than what meets the eye in ordinary objects. we are proud to introduce the new evolution of our artistry; Sarah Killen.

Who We Are

Sarah Killen, a New Orleans-based artist/designer known for her unique and handcrafted designs. Originally drawn to welding and furniture-making, Sarah moved to New Orleans twenty years ago with a passion for working with her hands and creating tangible work.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, her creative path shifted. What began as a series of explorations evolved into a cohesive artistic vision—ultimately becoming Saint Claude for the last 18 years. The jewelry line is named after a street in the Bywater neighborhood where her first studio was located.
