Lisa Oswald has been designing and creating jewelry from the time she was a little girl. Her first works were oven-fired bead necklaces made of clay, which she dug from a stream bed near her home. She fashioned shaped beads, baked them in her mom's kitchen, and sold her novel creations to her aunts. She was just eight years old. While working toward her BFA at Kutztown University, Lisa met Kermit Oswald. She began her jewelry enterprise in 1983 with her twin sisters Susie and Sandy. Together they named the company Sorrelli, which is adapted from the italian word for sisters, "sorrelle". Sorrelli jewelry is hand crafted from genuine semi-precious stones and high quality Austrian crystals. It is designed to become heirlooms, handed down through the generations. The Sorrelli vision, to create beautiful jewelry and bring enjoyment to those who wear it, continues today.
