About Sandra Ling Designs

Born and Raised in St. Croix: A Journey of Creativity and Craftsmanship Growing up on the beautiful island of St. Croix, the seeds of creativity and resourcefulness were planted early. As a young girl, surrounded by the island’s natural beauty, I found inspiration in everything around me. With no access to modern craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Michael’s, I turned to what the island provided:    •   Collecting pods from the rattan tree, boiling them to soften their texture, and stringing them onto sewing thread to create necklaces.    •   Gathering seashells and beach glass to make one-of-a-kind craft jewelry.    •   Sketching sugar mills and palm trees during peaceful Saturdays at the beach.    •   Carving mature royal Poinciana tree pods into thoughtful gifts for family and friends. These experiences nurtured my love for art and design, leading me to officially start my jewelry business in 1988. By the 1990s, my craft had grown into a successful venture. I opened a showroom at Dallas World Trade Center/Dallas Market Center, where I connected my passion with timeless jewelry pieces. My passion for coin jewelry began with my father's nickel collection. With every coin turning into jewelry , a smile of remembering my father is attached to every piece created. Houston has been home since the late 80's. My son has been a major support in my business and is the light of my life. Come join the Sandra Ling Designs family of friends and colleagues. #7242 ShowroomRead their story
