Coming across a family owned business that is keeping things real from the bottom to the top is a hard find these days. Discovering sheer talent and commonality for a trade or product inside the bounds of family ties is even tougher. Luckily, sawyer was born out of adventure and spirit by the mother and daughter duo, Kim and Sawyer Bannister.

Inspired by love of travel, the sea and the 60s & 70s vintage décor, it prompted them to launch sawyer, an adventurous and spirited collection.

“Strikingly unique and stunning, the hand-poured, cut and polished creations have a luxurious and architectural appeal.  No two items are alike – complete with their own story to tell.  Special attributes of the coloring process, natural shells, semi – precious stones and precise attention to detail, add to the overall beauty and specialty of each piece. The natural materials are from the design duo’s private collection of items collected during their travels – often found during a family walk on the beaches in Jamaica or hunting for semi-precious stones in South Africa.”

If you’re looking for something truly unique and original, sawyer is it. Apart from being family owned, portion of the proceeds from sales of sawyer products goes to a selection of charities and organizations – from children battling cancer to Alzheimer’s research and heart disease.

Long live the family jewels that keep chic pieces and the heart of hardworking spirit alive.
