Sierra Winter
“I want women to feel badass, confident and empowered when they wear my jewelry.”
Sierra Otto is the creative force behind Sierra Winter Jewelry. Presenting handcrafted treasures of high-quality and inspired design, her pieces tell unique stories, just like the wearers themselves.
Sierra's journey began amidst the rustic beauty of the Flint Hills of Kansas. Her early love for drawing and fascination with collecting stones on the prairie laid the foundation for her passion in jewelry design. Much of her inspiration comes from the magic that filled her childhood, from golden sunsets to the fresh prairie breeze.
Sierra has designed jewelry for as long as she can remember. She started in high school by selling game day earrings. After earning a BFA in Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design from the University of Kansas, she worked as a jewelry designer for Silpada Designs. Here, she fell in love with designing collections. In 2015, Sierra took the leap to launch her eponymous brand.
Sierra’s intricately designed creations feature timeless elegance with a modern twist. She enjoys infusing personality and hidden messages into every piece. All jewelry is handcrafted in high-quality sterling silver, 18k gold vermeil and natural stones, without nickel or brass. Everything is designed by Sierra in Kansas City and crafted by highly skilled production teams in India and Thailand.
From starting out of her extra bedroom to two thriving brick and mortar stores almost a decade later, Sierra continues to cherish the joy of bringing her drawings to life in the form of jewelry. She is proud of how her jewelry has been embraced across the country. The growing list of celebrities wearing her pieces includes Miranda Lambert, Kasey Musgraves, Greta Van Fleet and Heidi Gardner.
