Yam is a genderless jewelry and home-decor brand founded by Morgan Thomas, working out of a studio in Queens, New York. The jewelry line is an ode to Thomas' late mother, who taught her to make jewelry as a child; Thomas started at age ten in the Bay Area, upcycling broken family pieces under the name Artsy.
The house style is playful design paired with thoughtful craftsmanship, drawing on nostalgia and the small cultural rituals of everyday life. Pieces are made through explorative art processes, with a stated sustainability focus and an in-house repairs service, so something that breaks can come back to the studio rather than the bin. Yam sells direct online and wholesale, with the Yam Home line carried on Faire, and is stocked by boutiques including Cafe Forgot, Local Eclectic, Ritual Shoppe and Prism Boutique.
No street address or phone number is published, so the studio is online-only for customers and wholesale and general inquiries go to
