Sara Freedenfeld Amali Jewelry "My intention is to delicately unite the natural simplicity of handcrafted artistry with the sophistication and glamour of high fashion. " Sara's design philosophy is centered around the importance of feeling deeply connected to everything she does. She enjoys the challenge of creating complex designs and gets lost for hours trying to navigate a new design from vision to completion.   Each piece is created by hand in Sara's New York studio using mechanical connections to combine 18 karat chains, gemstones and diamonds. Her designs are distinguishable by the intricately woven highly reflective chain used to create rich textures with a lot of movement Sara discovered her passion for making jewelry while backpacking through South America. In the Andes mountains of 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 reflects her complex aesthetic vision.
