International Women's Day 2023
Meet the women that make us.
This International Women's Day we're celebrating the exceptional women that make up the Maya Magal team. As a female founded and independently-led business, we're proud to empower women, amplify their voices and celebrate their talents.
Being a woman is a multi-faceted job.
Our core values are rooted in inclusivity, equality, and collaboration, we are always striving to empower and appreciate the talent of the women around us, while working towards a better future for all women. So, today (and every day) we celebrate the wonderful women who make up our team. From our jewellers at the workbench to our Maya, our founder, we recognise the many roles women take on in life and as women, we design and make jewellery to honour this.
Handcrafted in London, designed for life.
