The roots of Damai Designs trace back to two distinct but parallel paths - one beginning in Taxco, Mexico, and the other in Bali, Indonesia. Jael Ramon was born into a family of jewelers from Taxco, a city renowned for its sterling silver artistry. Surrounded by generations of jewelers, Jael developed an early appreciation for craftsmanship and tradition, eventually taking the reins of his family's business. Meanwhile, in Bali, Ravinder and Vikas Chahal were laying the foundation for Kanaya Silver, a company built on respect for ancient techniques and a deep admiration for the island's culture.

Though their journeys began oceans apart, they were shaped by a shared commitment to preserving traditional artistry while embracing modern design. Jael’s passion for jewelry—infused with story, soul, and symbolism—naturally aligned with the values behind Kanaya Silver. It was only a matter of time before their paths crossed, setting the stage for a meaningful collaboration.

When Jael first encountered the work being done at Kanaya Silver, he was captivated not just by the exceptional craftsmanship but by the spirit behind it. The more he learned about their process, values, and team, the more he saw an opportunity—not just to admire their work, but to build something new with it. Ravinder and Vikas recognized in Jael a kindred spirit: a designer with a deep understanding of the market, a respect for heritage, and a desire to build something meaningful.

Their collaboration was born from a shared appreciation for storytelling through design. Jael brought a designer’s eye, decades of industry experience, and a deep emotional connection to the jewelry trade. The Chahals offered the infrastructure, artisan network, and production strength to make his vision real. Together, they decided to create a new brand—one that would bridge continents, cultures, and aesthetics.

Damai Designs is more than a jewelry company - it’s a commitment to ethical production, cultural preservation, and design-driven storytelling. Every piece is handmade, every artisan is fairly compensated, and every design carries meaning. By keeping production in Bali through Kanaya Silver, the brand helps sustain local livelihoods and ancient traditions while offering something fresh and inspiring to buyers abroad.

Looking forward, Damai is building relationships with boutique stores, television retailers, and online wholesalers throughout the United States. The company’s growing reputation for quality, consistency, and story-rich design is helping it stand out in a crowded market. Whether it’s a dragon pendant representing protection, or a floral ring inspired by Balinese temple gardens, Damai’s pieces invite the wearer to connect with something deeper. With a foundation built on trust, respect, and collaboration, the future of Damai Designs is as bright as the silver it celebrates.
