Janis Savitt Evokes a Vintage Feel
Filed under necklaces
Keeping up with vintage jewelry — because I do love vintage — now we are going to focus on a piece by Janis Savitt Jewelry.
Savitt is from New York City, the progeny of a fashion forward mom and an artistic dad. Her childhood was spent among a wealth of culture, fine arts, and fashion. She was still only in high school when she began fabricating pieces for renowned names like Cartier, Bloomingdale’s, Van Cleef and Arpels, and Henri Bendel.
It thus comes as no surprise that a number of big name, stylish celebrities have worn her pieces, women like Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon, Julia Roberts, the Big Jennifers — Anniston and Garner — Uma Therman, Nicole Richie, and Penelope Cruz. Even the guys love Janis — Prince has worn her pieces, as have Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
One look at the Brass and Crystal Necklace, and you can see why she is so popular. The floral inset is made of clear crystals and looks perfect with the four brass chains. The feel is vintage, but the necklace is definitely savvy.
