Bringing you the hidden treasures of Mother Earth.

Sawana Jewels: A Legacy of Exquisite Gemstones and Artisanal Mastery
 

Since our inception in mid-2017, Sawana Jewels has been driven by a singular dream: to unveil the world's most exquisite, rare, and breathtaking gemstones, with a special focus on the hidden treasures of Africa. Our journey began with a mission to elevate the precious mineral industry of Africa, helping it soar to new heights. Tracing our roots back to the early 19th century in India, our founders inherited a rich legacy in the jewelry industry. This deep-seated heritage laid the foundation for our venture, which later expanded from India to the bustling city of Chicago, bridging the gap between the traditional and the modern.
 

In 2018, Sawana Jewels truly came into its own. Our relentless pursuit of the rare and illustrious Tsavorite Garnet, found only in Tanzania and Kenya, led us to relocate our operations to Kenya, the pulsating heart of East Africa. This move marked a significant milestone in our journey, as we ventured into the most remote corners of the continent, unearthing gems of unparalleled beauty.
 

Today, Sawana Jewels stands as a beacon of support for the African community, contributing significantly to sectors ranging from mining to education and healthcare. Our global clientele is a testament to the joy and elegance our gemstones have added to their lives. We take pride in understanding that each individual possesses a unique blend of taste, style, aura, and look, and that every occasion demands its own distinct flavor. This understanding is the cornerstone of our philosophy.
 

At Sawana Jewels, we eschew the mass production of jewelry, which often compromises on craftsmanship and integrity. Instead, we dedicate ourselves to crafting 100% handmade, custom, high-end gemstone jewelry. Our pieces are not just accessories; they are a celebration of rare and exotic gems, brought to life by the unparalleled skill of our experienced artisans. Each client is given exclusive attention, with dedicated project timelines ensuring that every creation is as unique as the person it is crafted for.
 

We operate on a principle that is as simple as it is profound: What you desire and dream, we bring to life. Our commitment to delivering the best is unwavering because we believe you deserve nothing less than the finest offerings of Mother Nature. At Sawana Jewels, your dreams are crafted into reality, one exquisite piece at a time.
