Over ons
What is iamjai?
I AM JAI is designed in Amsterdam (AM) and produced in the jewelry capital of India, Jaipur (JAI). JAI means VICTORY in India, and that’s the way we feel it too. Wearing iamjai means carrying out a positive message. The message that anything can be conquered, like long distances or cultural differences.
By creating in Amsterdam and crafting in Jaipur, we combine the best of both worlds.
