OUR STORY
ABOUT YAAKUNTE
What started as a simple love for headpieces quickly grew into Yaakunte, a brand that embodies the elegance, confidence, and grace of today’s modern woman.
Our signature pieces, crafted with love and precision, combine gold or silver-plated wire, pearls, and beads to create designs that are both timeless and versatile. From weddings and graduations to High Tea events, Baby Showers, Divorce Parties, Birthday Parties and everyday wear, our accessories have become must-haves for life’s special moments, and the in-between.
At Yaakunte, we’ve reimagined the classic headband, turning it into an everyday accessory that’s as cherished as traditional jewelry. Each piece is unique, custom-made, and a celebration of individuality and style.
