It all started on May 17, 2022.

The meeting was the following day, on a garden bench at around 6pm in Campo dos Mártires da Pátria. During this conversation we talked about the desire to create a jewelry brand but with some associated concept, " we are not going to sell JUST a product ".

The following conversations took place over beers and other topics at the Braço de Prata Factory and at meetings at the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte.

Months later, our idea, like most ideas, was left to rot in a note on a cell phone that we would never pick up again. We had other things going on and many changes in our lives. And it was here that we almost gave up on HAJA.

One afternoon, sometime in December 2022, we met after work to outline our plan. After that, everything flowed naturally with a lot of effort and dedication on our part, as we worked during the day and the nights were dedicated to our dream, HAJA.

HAJA was created to give voice to the stories of real people, perpetuating them over time . We create pieces full of life, which connect us emotionally to remarkable narratives, immortalizing endless souls. We want to hear your story, immortalize it in pieces that reflect your essence and share them with the world.

Today, HAJA is for us the symbol of unity, memories, and recollections. And that is what we want to convey in each piece we create.
