Before starting your line of fine jewelry—Savannah Friedkin—you ran the Friedkin Foundation alongside your family. What made you want to pivot to the jewelry industry?
I have always been a creative at heart, and I wanted to find an outlet to express my love of art and design alongside my love for protecting our planet. Jewelry was a natural way to combine these two passions, through production and business practices that minimize the impact on our earth.
As a consumer, I desired more conversation around the traceability and transparency of fine jewelry, especially given my background as a conservationist. I felt this dialogue has been happening with apparel for several years now.
