MEET OUR FOUNDER
FOUNDER, ARTIST, & SCIENTIST
Brittany is an Environmental Scientist with roots from the people of the red earth, Haliwa-Saponi Tribe in Hollister, North Carolina. She designs and handcrafts Cheyanne Symone earrings in Ypsilanti, MI.
..................................................
"I started Cheyanne Symone in 2018 when I saw a need for high quality and sustainable indigenous style beaded earrings that were versatile enough to be worn everyday in a professional work environment and yet bold enough to make a statement. Cheyanne Symone is a combination of my identity as an indigenous woman, environmental/energy scientist, and artist."

DESIGN PROCESS
Cheyanne Symone design concepts are modern, reflective of contemporary Native American/Indigenous beadwork. Some pieces are tied to stories and causes while others embody minimalism and the beauty of simple elegance and sophistication.
Time Intensive - Beadwork is time intensive. Depending on the pattern and size of each design, it can take our Beaders between 2 - 8 hours to give life to each piece. Cheyanne Symone Beaders are indigenous women from across turtle island.

SUSTAINABILITY
At Cheyanne Symone we are committed to crafting beautiful jewelry that does not compromise responsibility. Our company was started by a couple of energy nerds so sustainability has been interwoven throughout the fabric of our brand. Learn more HERE.
Seventh Generation Promise - The life cycle of our products does not end with your final purchase. In the event that life happens and something goes wrong, we will repair products hassle free, anytime, guaranteed.
