THERESIA KYALO
At TK we craft timeless jewelry, objects, and art that celebrate Kenyan heritage, innovation, and craftsmanship. Rooted in Nairobi and working hand-in-hand with local artisans, we are committed to empowering communities through sustainable, ethical practices that uplift livelihoods and honor tradition. Our mission is to foster socio-economic growth by providing fair employment, nurturing creativity, and investing in education and skills development—especially for women and youth. Through our work, we actively contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on gender equality, decent work, reduced inequalities, and responsible production. We believe in beauty with purpose, art with impact, and design that connects the world to the soul of Kenya. Whether you’re a fellow creative, a potential collaborator, or simply someone who values thoughtful design, we’re excited to share our journey with you.

‘The Mgeni Experience’ physical exhibition was hosted at kali.works, a dynamic Pan-African cultural space in Ngara, Nairobi. Known for celebrating African identity through fashion, art & community.

"Kyalo’s work sits within a wider movement in West and East African jewellery design, where creatives, drawing on pre-colonial design practices, are pushing the boundaries of what jewellery can be. Beyond the expected shapes of earrings and necklaces, Kyalo’s pieces follow the contours of the body. Reflecting on her use of unusual or new forms, Kyalo notes ‘Most artists tend to make designs that people are familiar with…It need not be this way."
