Jewellery has always been the gift that Umutoni would bring back to friends and family in the UK from her holidays in Kenya. Elegant, handcrafted, and with a distinct East African design, it was unique artisanal skill that you couldn’t find in Britain. Umutoni now uses jewellery to bridge the gap between east and west for a greater social impact: to challenge multi-generational poverty in sub-Saharan Africa, starting in Kenya.

Umutoni works with disadvantaged and disenfranchised Kenyan artisans who have perfected the skill of jewellery design. She makes sure they get a legitimate wage for their work – while introducing the rest of the world to their unique creations. So, when you wear one of her pieces, it’s not just an accessory. It’s accessibility: it’s helping a skilled artisan in Kenya to dream bigger and shape their lives for the better.
