In every culture, jewelry does more than decorate, it carries memory. It travels through generations, holds the warmth of hands that made it, and becomes part of the stories we tell about who we are.
Zyvara & Co. was born from that belief.

Founded by Sodaba Barnayar, an Afghan refugee whose journey crossed borders, cultures, and countless moments of rebuilding, Zyvara is more than a jewelry brand. It is a quiet declaration that beauty can survive displacement. That creativity can bloom even in unfamiliar soil. And that the traditions we carry within us can transform into something new, modern, and deeply meaningful.

A Journey That Shaped a Brand

Sodaba grew up between worlds.
Her childhood in Afghanistan, her seven formative years in India, and her arrival in the United States, all of it became the foundation of Zyvara & Co. The colors of Kabul markets, the artistic rhythm of Indian craft, and the modern calm of Western design came together in one vision:

To create jewelry that feels timeless, minimal, and deeply personal.

Pieces that whisper heritage rather than shout it.
Designs that can move gracefully from office to evening.
Craftsmanship that honors the hands behind it.

Handmade in Afghanistan: Craft Rooted in Tradition

Every Zyvara piece is crafted by Afghan artisans, masters of stone, silver, and handwork. Many of them are women who sustain their families through age-old craftsmanship. By working directly with them, Zyvara brings their artistry to the global stage, one elegant piece at a time.

Genuine turquoise, lapis, emerald, and silver come together in designs that celebrate both simplicity and soul. The result is a fusion: Afghan heritage reimagined for the modern world.

Jewelry That Speaks Quietly but Meaningfully

Zyvara’s design philosophy is rooted in museum-like minimalism.
Clean lines. Soft textures. Natural stones.
Every piece is intentional, not excessive, created for those who believe that luxury is quiet and elegance is effortless.

Whether it’s a ring that catches the light just perfectly or a necklace that feels like a personal talisman, Zyvara aims to create jewelry that becomes part of your everyday ritual.

A Vision for Women In Afghanistan and Beyond

At its heart, Zyvara & Co. carries a purpose much larger than design.

For Sodaba, this brand is a symbol of resilience, for herself, and for every Afghan girl who dreams of building something beautiful in a world that tells her she can’t.

Through Zyvara, she hopes to create:

• Opportunities for Afghan artisans

• Visibility for Afghan craftsmanship

• A global space where culture and modernity coexist

• An example young Afghan girls can look up to

Zyvara is not just a brand, it’s a bridge.
A place where heritage becomes wearable, where craftsmanship becomes empowerment, and where stories become art.

The Beginning of Something Timeless

As Zyvara & Co. grows, its vision remains simple:

To create jewelry that feels like a quiet companion.
To honor the hands that shape each piece.
And to remind women everywhere that elegance can be both modern and meaningful.
