The Kaya Family

Owners Kerim Kaya and Belinda Buchanan met and joined forces in 1990, traveling the country and selling their own handcrafted jewelry to local shops. After a successful initial year of traveling the country, the two settled into their first retail shop in Portsmouth, NH the following year. Soon after they opened a second location in Newburyport, MA. Working side by side for five years, they made the ultimate commitment and married in 1996; solidifying the Kaya legacy. Today, the couple and other members of the Kaya family can be found working in the company store assisting clients, creating/designing jewelry or fulfilling custom work.

Testimonials

  • "I can't thank Kerim enough for the beautiful ring I am now wearing! I knew exactly what I wanted and Kerim worked with me to find the exact stone and designed the ring to be even more beautiful than I had envisioned. I absolutely love it and highly recommend Kaya Jewelers. I know I'll be back again when ready to design my next piece! Thanks so much! "

  • "Thank you so much for recreating my dads family ring for me. It’s as beautiful as the original and does bring me comfort to see it on my hand since losing my best friend/dad. I enjoyed working with you, can’t wait to come in and say hi sometime soon!!!"

They have custom designed my engagement ring, wedding bands and several other gorgeous prices for us throughout the years. As a wedding planner, they are also an easy recommendation for my brides and grooms looking for a trustworthy professional to assist with their ring design and selections. All around a wonderful business"
