Sarah Holmes — Creative Director & Designer

Surrounded by art from a young age, Sarah grew up in a family of artists who nurtured her creative spirit. She explored various artistic avenues, spending years in the fashion world before a chance encounter with a jewelry-making course, that changed everything. The moment she crafted her first ring, she knew she had found her true passion—and she’s never looked back. Her distinctive designs have been celebrated in GQ UK, Glamour, and Brides magazine, and even made their way onto the hit TV show The Good Witch for two seasons.

Sarah designs and creates pieces that are delicate and timeless. Each product in her line has its own understated elegance. The collections are thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted to highlight the natural beauty of the gemstones and materials. Sarah is committed to using only high-quality materials, ensuring that each collection is unique but also stands the test of time. 

Maleia is about bringing the fine details and quality of craftsmanship together with Sarah's love of gemstones. Her style is elegantly simple. Because it's the simple things in life which can have the greatest impact on how we feel. "The better you feel, the more you shine".

Our exclusive handbag line has two small collections launching on our website each year. We are working in smaller indigenous communities in Mexico, where our fabric is woven, our pieces are embroidered and our designs tailored by our beautiful team.
