Jiya Jewellery

JIYA meaning ‘a little piece of my heart’ has been created by mother-daughter design team, Jean and Nicky Varakuta. The collection of friendship bracelets, necklaces and mochila bags has been inspired by their love of natural vivid colours, artisan craftsmanship and their passion for design . Pieces within the collection have been designed in collaboration with small co-operative groups throughout the world such as the Wayuu and Kuna Indian tribes in South America and smaller indigenous groups in Indonesia, who seek to empower themselves through their own artistic endeavours.  The result is a sophisticated, luxury brand of authentic artisan jewellery, friendship bracelets and accessories which are little works of art that can be worn anywhere.
