ABOUT YAYAH

 

I’m Davaryah — the heart and hands behind Yayah Designs, a bold, versatile jewelry line born from a lifelong journey of transformation and self-expression.

I grew up in a mystical, peace-loving Orthodox Jewish village in Israel called Moshav Mevo Modiim — a vibrant artistic commune rooted in sacred geometry, Kabbalah, and the beauty of tradition. That magical foundation shaped my deep love for patterns, ritual, and meaningful adornment.

In the mid-2000s, I moved to California and stepped far outside my comfort zone. I traded modest skirts for samba feathers and strict rules for radical freedom. Immersing myself in dance, art, and performance, I discovered new ways to express myself — and eventually, to design jewelry that’s both modular and meaningful.

Yayah Designs pieces are made to move and morph — body chains that can be styled in countless ways, necklaces that transform into hand chains, and body bands that double as belts, headpieces, or more. Each piece is modular and feels like a jewelry game — fun to play with and even more fun to wear. The versatility means you’ll reach for them more often, exploring new looks while sparking inspiration and creativity in other areas of your life, too. It’s not just adornment — it’s a practice in playful transformation.

Each piece is crafted with durable split rings and double clasps, giving it both strength and adaptability — so you can move freely, dance fully, and live boldly without ever worrying about breaks. Inspired by nature, the beauty and strength of gemstones, the meaning found in life’s patterns, and the fluid movement of dance.

Every Yayah Designs piece tells a story of transformation, balance, beauty under pressure, and the joy that comes from expressing your whole self — adorned, empowered, and in motion. Yayah Designs is more than jewelry — it’s a lifestyle. A celebration of shape-shifting, freedom, and bold self-expression.
