WISAL is a love letter to connection - to the stories we carry, the people we hold close, and the moments that shape us. As the founder of Onyx Hair Lab, I’ve always believed in creating spaces where people feel seen. With WISAL, that vision expands - into something permanent, intentional, and worn with meaning.

After losing my brother a few years ago, I struggled to feel whole - disconnected from myself, from others, from everything that once felt real. It was as if the version of me that had always been simply faded. Grief became a strange kind of home I’ve been learning to live inside.

But over time, it’s shifted into something else - a reminder that honoring him means honoring myself. WISAL was born from that space - from the ache to create something lasting, something that carries connection in its purest form. Each welded piece became more than jewelry; it became a quiet promise to keep showing up for life, for love, and for the parts of me that survived.

This brand is also a personal tribute to my Middle Eastern heritage. “Wisal,” meaning connection or union in Arabic, reflects everything I want this jewelry to represent: bonds that are timeless, stories that are sacred, and beauty that holds weight. Every piece is welded with care and worn with intention—because we’re not just linking jewelry, we’re honoring identity.
