MANILA, Philippines - In 1986, husband and wife Orna and Isaac Levy turned their interests and talents into a lucrative — and luxurious — business and founded Yvel. Becoming known for crafting top-of-the-line jewelry featuring rare pearls and gold in various colors and make, Yvel (the mirror image of the founder’s surname) has been well-received in Europe, US, Asia and the Middle East.
With respect to a century-old family tradition, Yvel maintains unique and innovative design aesthetics, distinctive texture and uses exceptional materials, easily making the brand the leading fashion pearl designer of the new millennium. Together, Orna and Isaac has been responsible in bringing popularity to the baroque pearl — misshaped pearls with glorious hues — by turning them into beautiful, outstanding modern pieces. For their new collection showcase at Rustan’s, the couple turns to the rich and vibrant world of nature for inspiration.
Orna and Isaac Levy are two of only 125 people in the world who are licensed to purchase Far Eastern pearls directly from pearl farmers and pearl auctions, guaranteeing their choices of pearls are of excellent quality and utmost beauty. With a wonderful harvest of pastel-hued freshwater baroque pearls, the couple brought to foray the Pastel Collection. In tones of pink, peach and lavender, the pieces are set in 18k satin-finished gold crafted in a free form design process. As no two baroque pearls are exactly the same – be it bold necklaces or statement earrings, eye-catching rings or a chunky bracelet — every Yvel masterpiece is truly one-of-a-kind.
Dedication to finding the best and most organic treasures of nature has led Yvel to discover the finest all-natural sapphires produced in the Umbra River Valley in Tanzania. In a wide spectrum of colors, the exotic and beautiful stone takes center stage for the Rainbow Collection. Set in 18k gold, adorned with diamonds and natural cognac diamonds, the precious collection promises to captivate.
