Yarden Yamin
Hey, my name is Yarden (AKA Jordy) and I have been designing and making jewelry for as long as I can remember.
I grew up in Israel but now live in Utah with my husband and my cat Cleo. As a fifth generation jeweler whose family originated from Mosul, Iraq before moving to Israel, I learned everything I know from my dad, who learned from his dad before him, and so on and so forth.
I love creating new pieces, playing around with the materials, and adore the jewelry making process. My inspirations come from nature, art, fashion, and normal daily life.
