Sita – the founder of Yabo doesn’t talk about collections in terms of trends; she talks about how a piece wraps around a finger or hugs the curve of an ear. After training at a renowned goldsmith school in Hanau, she founded Yabo in 2022 with a clear intention: to create unisex jewellery that feels like small sculptures resting on the skin rather than accessories added on top.

Hearing her describe her work, you realise how much of it is about transforming material character. Each ring, ear cuff and bracelet is handcrafted in Hamburg and made to order.

Sustainability, for Sita, is less about slogans and more about structural choices. She uses recycled metals and fairmined gemstones where possible and designs with longevity in mind: bold lines, yes, but not the kind you get tired of after one season. Her work is meaningful because I can bring ideas to life that previously only existed in my head. I aim to make heavy materials appear soft and to create pieces that embrace the human body. I strive to design jewelry that is both unique and timeless because I believe that the most sustainable approach is to create pieces that can be worn for decades. Craftsmanship itself ensures durability and value, and every piece I make is meant to last, grow with its wearer, and continue to bring joy over time.
