WWAKE Jewelry emerged from the creative mind of Wing Yau, a New York-based designer with roots in the Pacific Northwest. Yau, an alumna of Rhode Island School of Design, honed her skills in sculpture before transitioning to design after working with NYC artists and galleries. In 2012, she established WWAKE with the vision of blending art and the personal nature of jewelry. The first fine jewelry collection was unveiled in 2013, marking the brand's identity today.
WWAKE Jewelry
Breaking the mold of traditional art, WWAKE offers a fresh outlook on heirloom jewelry through unconventional arrangements and contemporary silhouettes. Signature contour shapes and delicate stone arrangements define the pieces.
WWAKE Birthstone Charms
Each month of the year is linked to a birthstone, believed to possess unique attributes and powers. For instance, February's amethyst is associated with sobriety and spiritual wisdom.
Many people wear their birthstones to celebrate their individuality and birth month.
