Yam

Yam is a small, independently owned jewelry label based in Long Island City, New York. It operates on a slow-fashion model: pieces are handmade to order, built around upcycled materials, and released as limited-run styles rather than seasonal collections. The brand sources from small, family-owned suppliers and emphasizes transparency about materials and process. It remains a two-to-ten person operation. Recent activity includes a capsule collection with Basic.Space and a trade showing in the Bulletin incubator at NY NOW, Javits Center.
