Savolinna is a contemporary jewelry brand that embodies exquisite craftsmanship and timeless design, founded by entrepreneur Hessa Al Shafar. With a Graduate Certificate in Public Relations and a Postgraduate Degree in Jewelry Design and Gemology from the International Gemological Institute, Hessa’s passion for bespoke luxury led her to launch Savolinna Fine Jewelry in 2017.
Named after the enchanting lakeside town of Savonlinna in Finland, each piece reflects Hessa's belief in jewelry as a form of self-expression, inspired by her parents' honeymoon and her childhood nickname. Drawing from a vibrant cultural backdrop, Savolinna features intricate enameling, rich gold textures, and stunning gemstones. Each jewel is crafted with traditional techniques, marrying craftsmanship with contemporary design to create timeless pieces that resonate with elegance and individuality.
