ABOUT
Tonya Lafaye™ is an independent jewelry house creating original interactive works designed to be discovered through wear.
The work is guided by softness rather than hardness — an intentional departure from traditional metal-forward jewelry. Each piece is shaped to accentuate the quieter dimensions of expression: the message held within, the mystery beneath the surface, and the beauty that unfolds over time.
The design represents one of the earliest interactive earring forms created, allowing meaning to be revealed through movement rather than instruction. Refined over more than a decade, the form was shaped with deliberate proportion to establish visual harmony with the face.
Tonya Lafaye™ pieces are not commercially produced. Each one is created individually, allowing variation, movement, and subtle difference to remain part of the work. No two pieces are identical.
Founded by Tonya Lafaye Grace, the brand exists in quiet contrast to conventional jewelry aesthetics — favoring intention over excess, softness over rigidity, and meaning that reveals itself rather than announces itself.
