YAYOI jewelry:

Statement designer jewelry made with premium quality materials and craftsmanship. YAYOI necklaces and bracelets are individually handcrafted with high quality materials and semi-precious stones. Our unique jewelry is for people ready to make a statement and not afraid to experiment.

We are Lidia and Jane and we’ve been friends for years. We’ve shared a lot of experiences, traveled and lived together in a lot of different countries. We’ve always known that we wanted to unite our vision of beauty and create something together. The idea of making unique handmade jewelry was born while we were both living in London. We were inspired by the street fashion of chic Londoners and funky style of young rebels. A retrospective of japanese artist Yayoi Kusama left a great impression on us – now we knew exactly what we wanted to do! We decided to unite our passions for craft, art and fashion to create extravagant statement pieces of jewelry. Jewelry and accessories have always captured our attention – a small accent transforming a whole outfit to make you look special.

We moved back to Latvia and spent months designing, prototyping and creating samples. We researched the market and tested our creations by personally wearing them. When it came to the point when we had to give a name to our brand, the decision was obvious - YAYOI, after the artist that inspired it...

Our pilot collection was greeted with compliments, local magazines and bloggers wrote positive reviews and our jewelry was soon available on the shelves of the best Latvian concept stores.

We took into account all the critiques and suggestions to create the samples for our second collection. We have plans to conquer the European market and become a recognizable brand not only in Latvia, but all over the world. This is the part where we need your help!


ELEMENT ONE collection

The concept of our new collection is water and its different natural states. Water is the beginning of everything and the first of all elements because of its mastery over them. Water therefore is our main source of inspiration in ELEMENT ONE. It changes the states forming a variety of textures. Water’s mysterious life giving qualities are equated with the feminine aspects of creation. By applying natural materials such as clear quartz and sea corals and using a deep melancholic color spectrum, we have attempted to deliver a story of the transformation of the element. Each piece reflects a different state of water. It freezes and forms a translucent ice on the surface whilst being in motion in the dark deep depths. Crystallizes and paints all in white. Water is nature's greatest artistic expression and this in turn has inspired us in the designs of the Element One collection.


To see all the pieces from ELEMENT ONE collection please visit our webpage:

Our new collection is now ready for the first production launch. Your help will bring this vision to life and fund the first production run of the ELEMENT ONE collection. In order to bring this project to life we need your support:

  1. To place a bulk order for the materials.
  2. To pay for the first portion of custom made packaging.

By investing in this project on Indiegogo you will gain the advantage of having YAYOI jewelry pieces at a discounted rate.

Your pledges will enable us to bring this product to the real world!


MATERIALS

We use high quality materials and semi-precious stones that are costly. In order to receive a wholesale discount we need to place a large order. We’ve found material suppliers that meet all our requirements. A part of the money pledged will cover the material order to make the first production run of our new collection.


PACKAGING

The first thing customers will notice is our packaging. We want to create smartly branded boxes that is attractive and compliments our unique jewelry.

The problem is that most packaging suppliers require large quantity orders. Luckily we’ve been able to find a local packaging manufacturer that is ready to produce custom made boxes for our necklaces and is open to collaborating on quantities and prices.

Together with the company’s friendly staff we have developed the ultimate box prototype that will fit all of the necklaces. We’ve agreed to divide the packaging production to several stages and now we are ready to receive the first portion of our handcrafted boxes.

Advantages of our new packaging:

  • made from eco-friendly fully recyclable materials: cardboard covered with natural cotton fabric
  • compact and easy-on- the eye
  • custom made especially for us
  • handcrafted under fair working conditions in Latvia

GREAT VALUE: You will get a special price for our pieces after backing our project

RISKS AND CHALLENGES

The main challenge to successfully accomplishing the project goal is how to market and publicize the brand. We are currently updating social networks and emailing bloggers in order to expand the brand’s presence. The other challenge is ensuring deliveries are on time. We hope that everything will go according to plan. However if we feel we are not coping on our own we will seek additional help to complete the orders on time. We also have all our suppliers arranged to minimize the risk of not getting the supplies we need. We are confident we can deliver all the rewards to the expected quality and on time!

Thank you for taking some time to see and hear our story. Your support means the world to us!

BIG Thanks goes out to:

Monta Apsane, Daryl Worthington, Lee Chapman, Alina Lapshina, Kristine Madjare, David Viscu, Julia Oh, Marina Dorosenko, our families and friends. Without all of your helps and supports, YAYOI wouldn't be what it is today.
