Written by Smashimi. Steelia Thunder is a hard-hitting, pace-setting pivot by night and a sculptor/jewelry designer by day.

Written by Angelina Rolie. Memphis Magazine December 2005 issue features Stamatia Jewelry Design: "Local metalsmith Sarah Hiles' miniature sculptures are based on traditional European ironwork - tapers, scrolls and flares.

what’s in a name?

Pronounced Stama (rhymes with drama) -TEE-Ah. Stamatia Michalas was my great-grandmother’s name, and Stamatia is also my mother’s middle name. A little family history and inspiration…
