Q: When did you start designing jewelry?

​

A: It all began in the early 2000s with my mother's collection of vintage buttons, which inspired me to create unique earrings, rings, and necklaces. A turning point came when she gifted me a 72-quart tube filled with a beautiful variety of beads from a market she would frequent in Southlake, TX, igniting my passion for beaded jewelry. What started as a personal obsession soon blossomed in August of 2014 into Ahavabynyzaiyah.com my online shop, where I continue to share my love for bold, Africa inspired statement pieces.
