While the stories that inspire Hyacinthus Jewelry are drawn from ancient mythology and religion, our pieces are crafted in a uniquely beautiful area: Charleston, South Carolina.

Hyacinthus Jewelry humbly acknowledges that where our products are crafted is the traditional and ancestral lands of the Kusso and Sewee peoples, who have and continue to be stewards of these ecosystems since time immemorial. We acknowledge them as the original and enduring caretakers of the ground beneath us, the rivers that flow near us, and the coastal beauty that defines this region.

We believe that where our products are crafted cannot be separated from what is being crafted. In this, we commit to being mindful and respectful occupants of this land, and encouraging our community to learn about and honor the deep, ongoing history of the Indigenous peoples of this area.

We offer our gratitude to the Kusso and Sewee nations, past and present, for their enduring care of this beautiful and life-giving territory.

We wish to pay our respects to the elders of the Kussoe People, both past and present, including Community Elder Leon Creel (1961-2025), and current chief of the Edisto Natchez-Kusso Tribe of South Carolina, Glen Creel.

Our work here is done with respect for the past and a commitment to a thoughtful present.
