Project Description
In 1986, Orna and Isaac Levy had a dream, well supported by their combined passion for the natural beauty of baroque pearls. Orna’s family had been in the pearl jewelry business for many generations, and Orna fondly recalls growing up playing with pearls. She developed a keen eye for quality, and her husband Isaac developed a distinctive taste for unusual colors and shapes of pearls. When the Levy team combined their passions and unique skill sets to create an innovative and beautiful pearl necklace while sitting on a mattress one day, the Yvel vision was born. From an initial investment of $2,000 and an invaluable devotion to the beauty of Mother Nature’s most organic treasure, Yvel began to build an exotic and exciting line of high end pearl jewelry, which is now sold around the globe. From a two person team to a 120 employee design center in Jerusalem, Yvel has expanded to reach new heights in pearl design, winning an impressive 7 ‘best in pearl design’ awards over the years.
