Welcome!

Kiyumi Jewelry (pronounced KEY-YOU-ME) is the collaboration between Starbird Feather Mistress Narayani Matson and Orelafey Metalsmith Shira Loa. Think of the soft, light, airy beauty of feathers combined with sleek, earthy, organic metalwork, and you have Kiyumi Jewelry. Kiyumi means "pure beauty" in japanese, and with what has been happening in the studio between us... well, we thought it was appropriate!

Who knows why it took us this long to collaborate after years of friendship, living together and working side by side, but finally, it's happening... and we are so excited about the future. please check back for updates with pictures of our new and upcoming products, and for ways to buy at shows and stores around Oregon and California.

Thanks!
Narayani and Shira
