Jaliya grew up between the lush forests of the Kootenay’s, and the vibrant, coastal city of Cape Town, two places that deeply inform her creative spirit. A queer jewelry artist, market organizer, and lover of dogs, friends, music and the outdoors, Jaliya brings bold energy and soulful intention to everything she makes.

Her handmade works are a reflection of an artful upbringing and a lifelong fascination with form, texture, and colour. Wild Honey began as a creative escape during the early days of the pandemic and quickly blossomed into a journey through maker culture, small business ownership, and self-expression.

Rooted in playful design and influenced by local style and fun trends, Jaliya’s work is ever evolving, each piece a step further into curiosity, courage, and craft. She is currently self-teaching the ancient lost wax carving technique as she ventures into the world of metal jewelry, adding depth, skill, and storytelling to her growing collection.

Wild Honey is a celebration of standing out, being seen, and wearing your joy out loud.
