Made by Malyia

Made by Malyia is a jewelry and lifestyle brand founded in 2014 by Malyia McNaughton, a self taught designer based in Brooklyn, NYC. Growing up the youngest of five kids in the Bronx, Malyia was fashion obsessed at a young age and often reinvented her style. After graduating from The Florida State University, she seized opportunities to work with NYC’s leading fashion brands.

Wondering how Made By Malyia got started? It all began with a search for the perfect body chain for an upcoming music festival. After the search turned up empty, Malyia relied on her creativity to design her own. Due to the overwhelming requests from friends and strangers interested in their very own body chain, she took to Etsy and listed the design. Upon realizing she had discovered her true passion she quit her 9-to-5 as a fashion buyer to pursue her dreams full time.

Made by Malyia offers collections handmade in NYC and designed with you in mind. Catering to Jewels (our loving nickname for our customers), means recognizing and understanding that every Jewel is as unique as each design. The MBM Jewel seeks unique, understated jewelry that makes a statement, and style without the commitment. MBM strives to deliver quality product, an exceptional customer service experience and authentic engagement with Jewels all over the United States, Australia, Paris, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Japan and beyond.

Malyia often draws inspiration from the architecture and pulse of her hometown, New York City. African culture, indigenous tribal adornment, and nature have also inspired her collections.
