About Me

I’m Gabriele - silversmith, coastal artist, and the slightly salt-obsessed hands behind SoFlo Boho Boutique. 🌊
I live and create in South Florida - it's a whole way of being. If you're drawn to the ocean, live for that salty air feeling, or just want something real and handmade in your everyday life - you're in the right place.

Everything I make comes from the same place - curiosity, creativity, and a deep connection to coastal living. I don’t 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. ✨

Some creations become jewelry. Some become drinkware. Some become coastal home accents. Different forms - same hands - same calm, coastal energy. 🐚🎣

One-of-a-Kind – Always

Patent-Pending & Proud — Hook & Tumble™

Some ideas are too good to keep quiet. Hook & Tumble™ drinkware was born from a passion for fishing, coastal living, and the art of epoxy - real fishing hooks, lures, tackle, and seashells suspended at varying depths inside multi-layer resin on premium insulated tumblers. No two are alike. No one else makes them like this. Patent pending - and proud of it. 🎣✨

I don’t do production runs. I don’t recreate the same piece hundreds of times.

Each design is made individually - no exact repeats - because that’s the only way I know how to create. 🌊

Everything here is handmade, imperfect in the best way, and meant to be used - not saved for “someday.” 🤍 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 “tarnish free.” 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. It’s built, shaped, and finished by hand using precious metal meant to last. ✨

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 you’re getting real precious metal, handcrafted work, and lasting value - without inflated pricing. 🤍

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. 💫

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.
