OURSTORY
TOAIE found its heritage in Fries, a language spoken in the Northern part of Holland. It literally means to embellish and that is what we do best. Add the heritage from Colombia too and you have got yourself the spirit of TOAIE.
​
Each of the pieces in the collection are assembled with great care by the hands of our extraordinary local friends in Colombia. Their beautiful character and love for life breathes through each of these vibrant jewels and with that passion they definitely make them dance.
​
The days of discomfort are over. Our colourful gems surely are heavy on the statement, but super light on your ears.
​
Each design is unique and so are our makers. Care to meet them?

Honest service and colorful jewelry:
we are here for you!
At TOAIE we value openness and honesty in everything we do.
With our transparancy we would like to give you the best experience and want to contribute to a honest society. This is something we do by producing our jewelry in an ethical manner and usage of good quality materials, making the jewelry last for a long time.
The beads are made from recycled glass and give the jewelry that beautiful shimmer. Our yarns are polyester, which is of course a bad word in the current landscape, but this type of yarn is the only one that takes and keeps the deep vibrant color we are loving so much, next to that this quality needed for the finishing of our knotting technique. To make sure you enjoy your jewelry for as long as possible, I have put together some tips on how to best care for them.
