Omaha, Nebraska native Samantha Gradoville made her runway debut opening and closing the Fall 2010 Prada collection in Milan. The following week, she walked exclusively for Miu Miu in Paris and was then one of the most talked about "fresh faces" of the season.

Samantha quickly became a catwalk superstar, with appearances for Chanel, Alexander Wang, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Gucci, Pucci, Fendi, Versace, Burberry, Dries Van Noten, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, and Tom Ford.

Samantha is an accomplished jeweler and herbalist as well.  Samvara Jewelry infuses her love and intention into every handcrafted piece. These one of a kind creations are destined to be heirlooms to last forever.  Samantha states: I am so grateful to be able to express myself through jewelry and share my art with others. I believe that we are all spiritually connected, and this is my way of manifesting that connection.
