The history of the Sajen silver jewelry brand

Sajen was founded in 1987 in Bali by American jewelry artists Marianne and Richard Jacobs. The talented Jacobs couple managed to combine European vintage style, Southeast Asian art, natural stones and precious metals.
This couple has always traveled a lot, they found their inspiration in the mysterious island of Bali, as well as in the Indian city of jewelers Jaipur. In these places, since ancient times, the art of carving on bone, wood and stone has been very developed. This allowed them to combine their knowledge of stones with ancient traditions and translate them into masterpieces of jewelry art.

Closing Sajen

Not so long ago, designers returned to the jewelry market with their new jewelry collection. She is also beautiful, but already in many ways different from the very Sajen, which was admired by collectors of the world. Therefore, the hunt for the very first collections of the Jacobs couple continues.

Sajen is a truly unique brand that has grown into a whole style direction and still has many imitators. Sajen fakes are becoming more and more common, they can be seen on many well-known online sites and in stores. Now it comes to the fact that craftsmen copy the brand and markings. Only a specialist in the characteristic features of the brand’s jewelry can determine the authenticity of the product.
