During World War II, Cousin Monya kept our watch business operating by shipping watch parts from his home in Switzerland to our factory in Chicago.
When we decided to start selling our jewelry direct-to-consumer in 2023, designed and crafted in our longtime studio in Chicago's Fulton Market, we chose a name that pays homage to our heritage — and to Monya.

Each Monya piece is the culmination of a deep knowledge in personalization and classic jewelry design. Every ring, necklace, bracelet, pendant, and earring is custom-made-to-order, polished, and packaged in our Chicago studio by a small team of dedicated artisans — many of whom have worked with us for decades.
In the spirit of everything old is new again, we use recycled silver or gold, as well as conflict-free stones to minimize environmental effects.

Have you noticed our logo with a unique character? Yes, it is an underscore however we see this as a cursor.
For those that do not know, a blinking cursor is a visual indicator in a computer interface that shows where the next character will be inserted when you start typing. It alternates between being visible and invisible, giving the user a visual cue about where their next character, letter, or number will appear.
Our cursor is to honor our long history in personalized jewelry, but most importantly a tribute to you and your story told through the pieces you wear everyday!
