Paris-based Designer Yaz Bukey has tamed every technical and structural aspect of both manmade and organic material, combining manufactured with unexpected elements such as precious metals and stones to create wearable masterpieces.
Yaz, daughter of a Turkish diplomat whose branch of the Ottoman royal family ruled Egypt is inspired by her rich Mediterranean heritage. It is no coincidence that Paris is her adoptive home; one of her ancestors, Mehmet Ali Pasha, King of Egypt, presented the Obelisk at the Place de la Concorde to Napoleon. Yaz’s energy and creative concepts are underpinned by her rich cultural legacy and regional narrative.
Since the early 2000s, the Yazbukey brand has given us numerous collections of playful, creative jewels, conceived by a fertile imagination that mixes pop references with whimsical yet complex ways of associating images. Wearing Yazbukey jewelry transports you to the unexpected and brings life to any wardrobe.
Following studies at Studio Berçot, her universe formed around the ornate: accessories that double as art, since a Yazbukey piece does not rely on a wearer to come alive.
