Sophia Forero's eye for color, texture, and design stems from her love of history and wide experience of international culture.  After earning her Master's Degree at University of Chicago, she worked for the US Peace Corps, teaching and traveling throughout Eastern Europe.  Sophia went on to see the world, gathering inspiration and materials from which she began to craft her jewels.  She has learned seven languages, helping her to communicate with artisans from all over the globe including Russia, Mexico, and Greece, her parent's homeland.

Sophia Forero has been sold in over 300 fine boutiques and specialty stores throughout the US, Canada, and Europe, including Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and Oilily to name a few.

Sophia's pieces are on the red carpet- actresses Sarah Jessica Parker, Vivica Fox, and Nia Vardalos are just a few who enjoy her work.  Her jewels have appeared in such feature films as SHOPGIRL, and are worn by the anchorwomen of CNN as well as WLS TV in Chicago.
