Handcrafted Elephant Hair Jewelry Since 1993
Founded in 1993, Safari Jewelry was born from a unique vision to preserve the ancient legend of the Elephant Hair Bracelet through modern craftsmanship. Our founder, an engineer based in Santa Barbara, California, transformed a traditional African talisman into a timeless piece of jewelry after receiving one as a Christmas gift. Over three decades, we have perfected the art of hand-wrapping high-grade precious metals around synthetic elephant hair, maintaining the bracelet's symbolic meaning of protection and prosperity. Our commitment to quality is unwavering, using only conflict-free white diamonds and USA-made metals that meet the highest industry standards. As a family-owned business, we continue to share this centuries-old story of good fortune with customers worldwide through our direct-to-consumer platform and a network of over 100 dealers across the United States, Europe, and Africa.While imitations have emerged globally, we remain the original pioneers of this distinctive jewelry style, handcrafted in America for over 30 years. Our designs honor the bracelet's traditional symbolism, with four knots representing the elements of nature and strands depicting the cyclical nature of life. Every piece we create carries this legacy of strength, love, and prosperity for the wearer. Through continuous innovation and dedication to environmental responsibility, we ensure that this meaningful tradition evolves while maintaining its authentic essence.
