I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been to Las Vegas for Jewelry Week (a pandemic and childbirths account for a few missed years), but I’ve been making the trip to the land of all things gems and jewels for over a decade, and my first stop has always been the same—Yael Designs.
Yael’s booth is one of the most reliably colorful and luxurious places to visit every Vegas Jewelry Week. We can count on a heaping helping of colored gemstones and glittering diamonds, however the brand may be evolving. What it is showing at the 2024 Luxury show might be my favorite Yael offering yet.
“Every year we release two new collections,” Yehouda Sakethou tells JCK. “This year we will be releasing our snake collection and also our new Modern Deco collection with precious gemstones.
“We are looking forward to a great show as we have the most appointments and the most market recognition in our history of JCK,” Sakethou says. “We have been doing the JCK show for over 15 years now, and it seems to set the trend and the mood for the rest of the year.”
