mya bay

Founded in Belgium in 2012 by designer Sophie Johnen, Mya Bay was born from a love for travel and personal expression. The name itself is a tribute, combining 'Mya' for her mother and 'Bay' for the seaside that inspires her work. The brand is known for its bold yet simple jewelry, designed to be stacked, mixed, and personalized. Most pieces are adjustable, encouraging wearers to create unique combinations that reflect their individual style. Johnen hand-draws each design, which is then crafted from brass or steel and plated with 24-karat recycled gold or rhodium-plated silver, often incorporating semi-precious stones. Mya Bay frequently releases capsule collections, including its popular 'Pimp' line, which allows customers to build their own jewelry using a selection of chains and charms. The designs often carry messages of positivity and empowerment, aiming to be both a fashion statement and a personal talisman for the modern, free-spirited woman.
