Forged from 100% reclaimed metals, Yanapuma is so excited to share the brilliant and current creations of husband-and-wife design team Ashley & Dara of Alkemie Jewelry. Their unique work is equal parts art and accessory. 

A bold and seductive statement, this hard snake choker coils gracefully around the neck, with its head and tail gently adjustable to create a customized fit. Designed to rest against the collarbone, this striking piece embodies the transformative power of the serpent—symbolizing renewal, rebirth, and deep spiritual awakening.

The serpent’s eyes gleam with mesmerizing green Austrian crystals, adding a hypnotic allure and a touch of mysticism. Snake medicine invites you to shed old layers, embrace your evolution, and step fully into your power. Wearing this piece will make you feel fierce, confident, and in tune with your primal energy—an unapologetic embodiment of strength, wisdom, and sensuality.

Shown in our signature gold patina—a consciously crafted blend of reclaimed copper and zinc, free from nickel, lead, and plating.

By creating new designs from existing materials in abundance, the mission is to translate something that would otherwise be landfill-bound into wearable art. These pieces are pioneers with hopes to change the jewelry industry with its social and environmentally responsible practices. Yanapuma loves working with this team as they too promote local living wages and eco-sustainable business practices.
