About the Company

Samantha Siu New York creates intricately crafted, reversible necklaces inspired by "A Love Affair." Each piece tells a story tied to a specific time and place, designed to be more than traditional jewelry, emphasizing meaning, narrative, and emotional connection. The brand is committed to social impact, donating 10% of net profit from each necklace to nonprofits focused on education enhancement, medical outreach, and animal conservation. This blend of artistry and purpose offers team members the chance to contribute to a mission-driven, storytelling-focused jewelry brand.
