About Me
Iām Gabriele - silversmith, beach soul, and the hands behind SoFlo Boho Boutique. š
I live and create in South Florida, where the coast isnāt just scenery ā itās a way of life.
Everything I make comes from the same place - curiosity, creativity, and a deep connection to coastal living. I donāt follow formulas or fixed processes. I follow materials, movement, texture, and what feels right in the moment. Seashells, gemstones, silver, copper, brass, fishing hooks - each piece takes shape intuitively and by hand. āØ
Some creations become jewelry. Some become drinkware. Some become coastal home accents. Different forms - same hands - same calm, coastal energy. šš£
One-of-a-Kind ā Always
I donāt do production runs. I donāt recreate the same piece hundreds of times.
Each design is made individually - no exact repeats - because thatās the only way I know how to create. š
Everything here is handmade, imperfect in the best way, and meant to be used - not saved for āsomeday.ā š¤ Jewelry should live with you, age with you, and carry your story - not sit in a box waiting for the right moment.
Real Materials - Real Value
I work primarily with sterling silver and genuine materials - not plated metals or trend-driven alloys labeled ātarnish free.ā Sterling silver holds real value, develops character over time, and can be worn, repaired, and cherished for years - even generations.
Many modern pieces are simply assembled from premade parts using materials designed to look good for a season but hold no lasting worth. My work is different. Itās built, shaped, and finished by hand using precious metal meant to last. āØ
Sterling silver prices have risen significantly in recent years, and many of my pieces are still priced based on silver I sourced when costs were lower. That means youāre getting real precious metal, handcrafted work, and lasting value - without inflated pricing. š¤
I price my work based on materials, time, and craftsmanship - not trends - and when I can pass that value along, I do.
Made to Keep - Made to Gift
Some people find their piece for themselves. Others choose one as a gift - to mark a moment, celebrate a milestone, or give something meaningful and one-of-a-kind.
Because every piece is unique, gift certificates are available for those moments when you want to give the experience of choosing - letting the recipient find the piece that speaks to them. š«
Made Slowly in South Florida
SoFlo Boho Boutique was launched in 2018 to share handmade coastal jewelry and lifestyle pieces with those who feel most themselves near the water - or who simply want to bring that coastal, vacation-like feeling into everyday life.
Thank you for supporting small-batch creation, thoughtful gifting, and a coastal way of living.
