History
Established in 2014.
Savannah Hunter's original and artistic jewelry designs arise from a creative process inspired by Savannah's many travels to far off places and her focused study of myth, magic, and art from around the world. Understanding that the first jewelry and adornments were amuletic objects used for power and protection, she created a jewelry line to inspire its wearers to tell their personal story through identification with significant forms, imagery, and materials. Savannah Hunter Jewelry is at once wild and elegant, delicate and empowering, meant to evoke a sense of strong, untamable feminine beauty that spans across all cultures and all eras.
