Daphna Simon to collaborate with The Defenders of Wildlife

November 2009


Best known for her signature animal rings featuring life like leopards, wolves, and bears, Israeli born designer and artist Daphna Simon’s “Untamed Jewels” line of highly-detailed sculptural jewelry showcases the artist’s personal interpretation of nature and the animal kingdom.

Each and every piece is handmade in rich 18k gold or sterling silver, and features the designer’s trademark leopard paw print.

This holiday season, Daphna Simon is partnering with the Defenders of Wildlife to create exclusive new jewelry, 15% of the proceeds of which will be donated to the Defenders of Wildlife towards its wildlife protection programs. Named by Reader’s Digest the “Best Wildlife Charity” for its innovative programs, Defenders of Wildlife is one of the country’s leading charity organizations dedicated to the conservation of wildlife.
