Amáli

Amáli Designer, Sara Freedenfeld, discovered her passion for making jewelry while backpacking through South America. In Valparaiso, Chile, she learned to combine natural elements with knotted strings to form intricate wearable art. In Venezuela, she met an artist who taught her how to link and mold metal.

Drawing inspiration from the natural landscapes and vibrant textiles that colored her travels, Sara set out to create a line of jewelry that delicately unites the natural simplicity of handcrafted artistry with the sophistication and glamour of high fashion.

Aside from the small gifts of knowledge she acquired during her travels, which continue to influence her work today, Sara is largely a self-taught artist. Her pieces have a fabric-like sensibility, created by intricately weaving chains and stones to create rich textures.

Sara named her company Amáli after her 99 year old grandmother – a bold, confident woman who embodies the spirit of the brand and all of the women who appreciate beautiful jewelry, but are not defined by it.

“I am inspired to make pieces for the woman who sees jewelry no differently than the art she displays on the walls of her home. She appreciates beautiful things, but she’s not hungry for symbols of status and wealth.”
