A native New Yorker, designer Janis Savitt’s jewelry has long been considered a go-to for both gifts and self-indulgence. Her edgy, easy-to-wear pieces seamlessly integrate with any collector’s existing jewelry wardrobe, and are perfectly suited to both dressy and casual ensembles. Her use of mixed metals coupled with her iconic Cobra bracelet create a distinctive aesthetic unique to Janis’ point-of-view. With a fine jewelry collection featuring diamonds, pearls and 18k gold, and a fashion jewelry collection comprised of crystals, pearls and precious metals, she has provided access to her cool, rock n’ roll vibe to a wide audience of jewelry lovers.
Janis was interested in jewelry design from a very young age. While still a high school student, she created collections for Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Henri Bendel and Bloomingdales. She went on to receive international acclaim for her excellence in design and quality craftsmanship, creating designs for global fashion houses such as Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera, Jill Stuart, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch and Vera Wang. She has received multiple awards over the years, including 3 De Beers Diamond International Awards and 2 CFDA nominations for “Accessory Designer of the Year.”
Janis has joined the ranks of Oprah’s coveted “Favorite Things” list multiple times with her Cobra bracelets and hoop earrings. Her extensive celebrity following includes such megawatt stars as Lady Gaga, Rihana, Beyoncé, Angelina Jolie, Sarah Jessica Parker and Serena Williams. Her genuine passion for design and her entrepreneurial spirit create a sense of loyalty among those who wear her pieces, and the momentum she has incited continues to build as her following grows. In the words of the designer herself, “My customer is a reflection of my own taste and love of jewelry. Every girl needs diamonds.”
