(Remember, it was the 80’s!) Two decades later, all grown up and armed with a degree in business and years of fashion experience from Barneys NY and Coach, Erica set out to design a jewelry line for today’s modern, driven, fashion savvy, and influential woman. Erica Sara Designs was born out of a dream to help others commemorate theirs. From our careers to our families, our hobbies to each and every goal, as women we aren’t “just” one thing and Erica Sara Designs jewelry helps celebrate all parts of us. Since launching, ESD has graced the pages of Runner’s World, Women’s Running, Shape, Women’s Health, Better Homes & Gardens, and US Weekly, just to name a few. Unique, universal and timeless, Erica’s pieces are sought out by everyone from bridal parties to marathoners, new moms to old friends, back-of-the-party runners to Olympians and the elites.    As of 2022, Erica Sara Designs will be creating the official jewelry of the TCS New York City Marathon. When she’s not creating jewelry, Erica spends her time running, kayaking, hiking, cooking, and hanging with her husband Robert and their two kids. www.instagram.com/ericasara www.ericasara.com
