YEWO
YEWO is a social enterprise + a jewelry design studio based in both Asheville, NC and Manchewe Village, Malawi. Every YEWO item is thoughtfully hand fabricated in their Malawi based workshop using both unique and traditional metal working techniques. By choosing to make products in the way they do, they directly create jobs in Malawi that encourage growth, financial stability, and a family-like workplace. In addition, a portion of YEWO sales are invested in local community development initiatives in Malawi.
The 'Mala' necklace (meaning 'to complete' in Tumbuka). Part of our autumnal Mala collection, the Mala Necklace is made from a palette of earthen high-quality Japanese glass beads placed on a 16" 14k gold fill chain with a 2" gold fill extender.
