Recycling programme
Yala makes all their jewellery from reused and recycled raw materials and manufactures them with care and timelessness in mind. However, they know that taste might change. That is why they allow you to send back your items if you decide you do not want to keep them any longer. The components are then recycled and made into new jewellery styles.
