about YLARÉ

The Architecture of Adornment – Our Story

YLARÉ was founded on a simple question: Why should beauty be fleeting?

Before founding YLARÉ, I worked as an architect. I studied how balance, proportion, and materials create structures that stand the test of time. But I often found myself frustrated by the world of jewelry—where high-end luxury was out of reach, and affordable pieces often lost their luster after just a few wears.

I knew there was a better way—so I set out to apply the discipline and precision of architecture to jewelry.

A 10-Month Journey to the Source

I spent ten months traveling through manufacturing regions, stepping inside workshops, factories, and studios to see firsthand how exceptional materials and craftsmanship come together. From natural crystals, 925 sterling silver, and pearls to high-grade titanium steel, I sourced every component myself. 

Today, we use hypoallergenic, tarnish-resistant, high-grade titanium as a durable alternative to solid gold. From the smallest clasp to the sturdiest thread, every element is carefully chosen to ensure your piece remains as beautiful as the day you first wore it.

Architectural Precision – The Art of the Millimeter

True refinement takes time. We apply architectural precision to every design—such as the deliberate, rhythmic interplay between 2 mm and 3 mm beads. Achieving this level of precision requires immense patience and discipline, ensuring that even our simplest pieces possess a distinctive character. 

Because we embrace a Slow Fashion philosophy, our monthly production is intentionally limited to just a few original pieces. It is this commitment to detail that transforms jewelry into a lasting expression of craftsmanship.

Honest Materials & thoughtful Craft

At YLARÉ, “natural” means untouched by artificial enhancements. We honor the natural beauty of crystals and gemstones, pairing them with precious woods such as Agarwood to celebrate the harmony between mineral and botanical materials. To ensure every piece reflects the same care and intention, I personally perform a cleansing and blessing ritual for our crystals and woods before they are incorporated into each piece.

Crafted Together

We also collaborate with a small group of independent artisans, each with years of specialized expertise in their craft. By sharing their work through YLARÉ, we help support their trade and preserve traditional artistry.

Beyond the Self

Creating something meaningful also means giving back. After spending years as a manager in the nonprofit sector, I am committed to ensuring that YLARÉ contributes to a greater good. 

5% of our annual profits are dedicated to charitable and educational initiatives.
