eh-wah / (Pronounced like: Eh-xcellent + Wa-y)

Ewa is a Yoruba word meaning “beauty.”

Our name and mission are deeply rooted in the Yoruba proverb: “Iwa l’ewa,” which translates to “Character is beauty.” This philosophy teaches that true beauty has two forms: Ewa Ode (outer, visual appeal) and Ewa Inu (inner, intrinsic worth).

At Ewa Jewelry, we believe your jewelry should celebrate both. Our dainty, elegant handmade pieces are crafted to honor your Ewa Ode, while serving as a quiet reminder of your powerful Ewa Inu.

The business name is personally derived from the founder’s own Yoruba name, Olusewa, which means “The Creator of Beauty.” We believe every person is the creator of their own radiant story. ✨
