Yala isn’t just jewelry, it’s a statement. Designed for the modern woman, this award-winning African jewelry brand was crowned "Jewelry Brand of the Year" at the 2019 Sustainable Lifestyle Awards and became the first jewelry company in the UK to earn B Corp certification (no small feat). Founded by Audrey Migot-Adholla, a Kenya-born creative now based in Bristol, Yala is named after the Kenyan town where her grandmother lived and that legacy runs through every piece. Audrey splits her time between the UK and Kenya, working directly with over 150 artisans to turn beadwork, wax prints, and heritage techniques into bold, small-batch collections made to last. Every collaborator is paid fairly, works in safe conditions, and gets the recognition they deserve because transparency isn’t optional here. Yala exists to flip tired narratives about Africa on their head, proving that ethical production, powerful design, and serious talent go hand in hand. Beautiful jewelry, built with purpose, and made to change the conversation.
