Stoned

By Sami Jack

12" Butterfly

"Stoned" is an intricately designed masterpiece that embodies the spirit of Arizona, brought to life by Sami Jack, the visionary behind Sami Fine Jewelry. This creation beautifully captures the essence of the American Southwest. "Stoned" was designed to remind you to open your heart and mind like the wings of a butterfly and see how high you can truly fly.

Sami draws inspiration from her father, Buddy Keith, who nurtured her deep appreciation for Arizona gemstones. The butterfly design in "Stoned" showcases turquoise pieces expertly cut and polished by Buddy, intricately fashioned into the butterfly's wings, alongside some of his other beloved gems.

Sami Jack, the founder of Sami's, started her career selling jewelry in her bikini on the beaches of Daytona Beach, Florida. At the time she was mostly selling Indian jewelry, and there was a major demand for it all over the United States. She soon built her popularity, carrying turquoise into a unique traveling business, which included selling to airports all over the southwest. This is where she fell in love with our beautiful desert and decided to set roots in Scottsdale, Arizona. In 1980, she had a beautiful daughter named Stephenie. In 2001 Sami saw the opportunity to break ground on her dream store. In 2002 this dream became a reality, Sami Fine Jewelry opened its doors on the Avenue of the Fountains. Boasting a new look, and 3600 square feet to boot! Sami and her daughter Stephanie have turned Sami Fine jewelry into a one of a kind "fun" store with its own active place in the Fountain Hills community.
