SHE CLAYS. SHE SLAYS. SHE PRAYS.
Hi, I’m Tia, and this is my journey. Growing up on Reunion Island with Madagascan parents made me the ultimate island girl. My studies in Forensics in Switzerland brought me closer to my roots. In 2022, I welcomed my daughter, Mila Fitia, my greatest creation. But amid these life changes, I lost a sense of who I was.
Transitioning from a forensic investigator in Paris to a full-time mother in Switzerland was challenging. Yet, one thing remained constant—my love for earrings. Dressing up my ears became a ritual, a way to reclaim my identity and feel good about myself.
My first polymer clay earrings were crafted to announce my pregnancy to my friends. That moment sparked a realization: my creativity is boundless. I want to inspire you to showcase your uniqueness, express your style, and be your authentic self.
Life’s changes can make us feel lost, but constants help us stay grounded. Our style, reflected in the colors, shapes, and materials we wear, speaks to our inner selves. Through Clay Slay Pray, you’re embracing my mother’s heritage, passed down to me and now to my daughter. This is why I create—to share this beautiful legacy with you.
THE CREATIVE PROCESS
Discover the 6 magic steps of polymer clay—lightweight, versatile, and perfect for creating unique and comfortable jewelry you can wear ALL.DAY.LONG. Molded and shaped with precision, each piece is then heat-cured to perfection, offering endless creative possibilities.
1 . CLAY PREP' PARTAY
Get the party started by conditioning the clay – I knead and soften it until it's perfectly pliable, ready for unique designs to come to life! I get inspired by everything from nature's beauty to my life stories.
2 . SHAPING SHENANIGANS
Watch the magic happen as I whether use cutters or hand-shape my ideas into reality, turning squishy clay into fabulous earring forms. This is where Clay Slay Pray's original style and color combinations start to shine.
3 . IS IT CAKE ?
We pop those bad boys into the oven for a toasty bake, making sure they're as sturdy as they are stunning.
4 . GLAM SQUAD
Once they're baked to perfection, your Clay Slay Pray earrings get the VIP treatment, with top-notch sanding and polishing, ensuring they feel as good as they look.
5 . GLOSSIER THAN FENTY
A layer of glossy or matte varnish is applied, giving your earrings that perfect finish while protecting the design. We add the final touches – think a dash of sparkle for that wow factor.
6 . IT'S THE VIBE FOR ME
Finally, I mix and match colors and shapes, creating eye-catching combinations with a vibe that's uniquely yours. I assemble the earrings with high-quality findings, all set to make a statement on your ears!
