About Jungle and Jewels

Founded in 2020, Jungle and Jewels is a passion project that combines two loves: handcrafted jewelry and plants. Originally a jewelry brand under a different name, it evolved into a creative expression of both art and nature.

Every piece of jewelry at Jungle and Jewels is crafted in small batches, ensuring each item is truly one-of-a-kind. From sawing and filing to casting and drilling, every step is done meticulously by hand—nothing is mass-produced.

Hannah, the founder and creative force behind the brand, was born and raised on the island of O‘ahu. A self-taught jeweler, she has spent over a decade refining her skills through trial, error, and constant learning. Her latest obsession is clay wax casting, a technique that allows her to create organic, nature-inspired designs.

The “Jungle” side of the brand has its roots in Hannah’s childhood, when she earned quarters for pulling weeds in her grandma’s garden. Over the years, her love for plants blossomed, especially during the pandemic, as she helped her father tend to his food garden.

What started as a fun hobby with a college friend while studying elementary education has grown into a meaningful pursuit. For Hannah, jewelry-making and plants aren’t just crafts—they’re sources of joy, creativity, and connection to nature.
