Investment Alert: Yael Designs Jewelry

I have a rule. If I wear my accessories (earrings, necklaces, rings, etc) more than once a week, they’re good earrings. And good accessories mean they’re luxurious accessories. This also means I spend a lot on them. I’m also always looking for great pieces and designers for these investment pieces (since I’m not buying a house anytime soon why not invest in good jewelry right?)
I’ve found a wonderful designer and collection that I’m totally going to one day be able to save up for. The designer’s name is Yehouda Saketkhou and you can check out his jewelry designs at Yael Designs. He grew up and was inspired by the Parisian life style (much like Christian Louboutin!). Yehouda has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and passion about jewelry. These characteristics shine through every single one of his pieces. And much like the uniqueness of Louboutin, Yehouda Saketkhou has to make things all his own.
He says, “Every step in the design process must be seamless in order to effectively evoke and communicate the inspiration, personality and story of each piece.” And each piece is special in every way. It’s special for everyone; especially for brides. Yael Designs specialized in bridal jewelry, but honestly…who is going to say, “Umm..I’m pretty sure that’s the 04330 Bridal Ring from Yael Designs that I saw online.” At least I hope not. You need new friends if that’s all they’re concerned about (unless you’re working at Vogue, Allure, or some other ultra fashion-y place).
These are totally investment pieces, but don’t you ever call them ‘fashion’ pieces. Mr. Saketkhou explicitly states that, “I design my pieces to move through the changing fashions, yet I don’t design ‘fashion jewelry’. Instead, I sculpt wearable works of art that have substance and can be worn as easily today as they can 50 years from now.” So watch out everyone, in 50 years you all may be looking f
or vintage Yael Design jewelry because it is still fashionable.
I’m particularly in love with the Mosaic Collection that will be fully available in August (counting down the days!). These pieces range from dangly black and white earrings to bold and daring rings. If you’re looking for something a little more subtle, though, look at the Luna Yellow Diamond Collection which showcases smaller but equally as stunning rings.
Whatever your tastes in jewelry, I recommend you take a look at Yael Designs. You may find one or two “dream’ pieces or you may be making a grocery list of pieces you want. Whatever the size, it’s always nice to dream of that one investment piece you may not actually invest in.
Thanks so much to Sasha Vasilyuk the PR Manager at Yael Designs for all the fabulous info!
