Wwake
More than a jewellery brand, WWAKE is a chain of connections — linking the earth, the artisans, and those who wear its pieces. Wing Yau founded the New York-based house in 2012 to reimagine heirloom jewellery through a minimalist and deeply intentional lens.
After studying sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design, she brought her refined sensibility to jewellery, creating delicate, ethereal forms. Inspired by the ephemeral — starlight, rippling water — she shapes airy compositions that play with space and light in intuitive ways. In her Brooklyn studio, a team of passionate women craft each piece with care, so that the jewels seem to float on the skin — like a shifting, intimate constellation.
Wing’s ethical commitment runs through every detail. WWAKE uses only recycled vintage-cut diamonds and Fairmined or 100% recycled gold, all refined within the United States. The brand sources its signature opals exclusively from family-run mines in Australia, ensuring full traceability and fair trade practices. Each stone is hand-selected for its unique glow and positive impact — creating jewellery that is as meaningful within as it is on the outside.
Adored by Zoë Kravitz, Emma Watson, and many others who value both beauty and purpose, WWAKE weaves poetry and purpose into a new vision of contemporary ethical jewellery.
