We worked with Yael Designs to create a custom alexandrite engagement ring, and the result is absolutely stunning. We brought our own pear-shaped alexandrite, and the team designed a setting that showcases it perfectly -- the diamond halo and intricate band work make it feel like a true one-of-a-kind piece. They were wonderful to work with throughout the design process, walking us through every detail from concept to the final setting. If you're looking for something unique and expertly crafted, we can't recommend Yael Designs highly enough. read more

I LOVE my ring! I can't stop staring at it. Yehouda is clearly an expert with excellent taste and skill in jewelry design. I had no idea what I wanted and he patiently worked with me to figure it out while explaining different cuts and styles. He went out of his way to make it happen even during covid and was so smooth. even though I participated in designing my perfect ring I was still surprised during the proposal. After I sent in my choice he worked the rest of the way with my partner in secret to get me my perfect proposal. The ring is so much more beautiful than I imagined and the price was the best we could find. Thanks Yael for being a wonderful part of my happy beginning! read more

When I needed bridal jewelry to go with my wedding dress, I came to Yael Designs for help - I've heard of their bridal jewelry collection and wanted to check it out. All I had to do was describe the dress and Yehouda, the designer, picked the perfect thing - matching necklace and earrings with white and yellow diamonds that looked totally amazing with my hair and tanned skin (will post pic soon). Most pieces are loaded with diamonds, so they aren't cheap. But hey, I guess that's why they call it "fine" jewelry :) read more

We came to Yael to pick an engagement ring and I was completely overwhelmed by all the possibilities! They all were so beautiful and I had a really hard time picking just the right one. I think it took me an hour of going back and forth between my favorite ones, but now, more then a year later, I'm still absolutely in love with my ring and do get so many compliments on it! When it cam time to look for my wedding day jewelry, I didn't have any doubts where to look. I was sure that it would be difficult to find exactly what I need as I had to match the pieces to both my vintage looking wedding dress and to the vintage cameo necklace I was going to wear. Well, to my surprise, as soon as I described what I'm going to wear for the wedding, Yehouda pulled out earrings and a bracelet that totally matched the dress and the cameo! I can't praise Yael enough, both the beauty of their pieces and their customer service are outstanding! read more

Yehuda designed my wedding bands and engagement ring. It was beyond what I ever expected. He walked us through the whole process and gave amazing insight and help. I am so happy with my beautiful ring and glad I found yael designs. It's an amazing team! read more

Yael Designs is simply the best diamond jewelry shop in the Bay Area. The quality, the selection, the originality - all surpass others dramatically. I've been shopping for an engagement ring for a long time, and what I ended up buying from Yael was considered "impossible" by some of the other diamond dealers I've talked to. I was able to find the exact fancy colored diamond that I wanted and couple it with a beautiful setting. And you should really meet the owner and the designer of Yael - Yehouda. Whatever you may hear on the radio, until you become friends with Yehouda, trust me, you don't have a friend in the diamond business. I do though. :) Thanks! read more

We had a fantastic shopping experience buying an engagement ring from Yael Designs. The owner of the business, Yehouda, is very friendly and their great selection of amazing ring designs was impressive. My finance and I had no problem picking out just what we wanted and we had an awesome experience all along. I'd recommend Yael Designs to anyone looking for fashionable and original jewelry. Five stars! read more

Yael Designs and Yehouda are fantastic fun! They designed my engagement and wedding rings (which I'm in love with) and I wore earrings and a bracelet from their collection to my wedding. People constantly compliment my engagement ring - over 2 years after I first received it. And that never gets old. read more

Yael designs and yehouda are the best. Not only did I get the most amazing engagement ring from them that till this day I get stopped on the street for but they let me borrow the most amazing pair of earrings for my wedding that we were just fabulous! I had the greatest experience and will be coming back in a jiffy to start upgrading my jewelry collection! read more

My wife and I got two beautiful wedding rings from Yael Designs. Yehouda helped us pick them out -- we're very happy with his intuition and insight. The craftsmanship of the rings is excellent, the materials are solid and are aging very gracefully. Heartily recommend! read more

I am a huge fan of Yael Designs. Almost all of the jewelry that I own is from Yael. Every piece is beautiful in appearance and craftmanship. I love how the jewelry looks and how elegant I feel when I wear it. Of all the pieces I own, I have to say that I love my engagement ring the most. Since the day that my (now) husband put it on my finger 10 years ago, not a single day has passed when someone didn't comment on how beautiful it is. I find myself still starring at it myself a few times a day and every time I do, it always makes me smile. I would and do recommend Yael Designs for anyone who is interested in purchasing a beautiful piece of jewelry that will stand the test of time and stay in your family for generations to come. read more

Yael Designs rocks my world! I wore a necklace from their Labyrinth collection to my wedding, and it looked stunning. I wore a very simple wedding dress, and the necklace complimented it perfectly. It looked elegant, dazzling and completely unique all at the same time. I've never felt more beautiful, and I think that I got compliments from nearly all my guests on my necklace. Yael Designs also created my engagement ring. I chose the design myself from an original antique, and the owner, Yehouda, let me choose the exact sapphire I wanted from at least ten different extremely high quality stones. The sapphire is GORGEOUS, the ring itself is perfect, and I still catch myself staring at it on a daily basis almost one year later. Truly, I couldn't be happier with it, or with the service and products I received at Yael. Thank you infinitely! read more

Yael Designs are great! Yehouda designed a blue sapphire engagement ring for my fiance per my request and vision. That ring constantly gets compliments. It was a real pleasure to work with Yehouda and his staff. read more

My wife has very high expectations when it comes to her jewelry. She was referred to Yael Design by a friend of her who has equally good taste and high standards. After just one meeting with Yehouda, he had a very good feel for what my wife's tastes, and he was able to present several alternatives. We've been back on a number of occasions over the years, and have found the quality of the work, both from a design and craftsmanship perspective, to be excellent. On the one occasion where there was an issue, he was both responsive and reasonable in adjusting the jewelry so it was to our liking...even though that issue was primarily the result of a decision my wife made about the design of the piece in question. We've recommended him to a number of our friends, and will continue to do so. Cheers. read more

I've worked with Yehouda twice and I would strongly recommend him and his team. I have received many compliments on my engagement ring. The quality of the craftsmanship and design are beautiful. Hands down, Yael Designs is the best jewelry store in SF. read more

The team at Yael Designs is truly world class. I had the pleasure of working with Daniel for my now wife's engagement and matching wedding rings. The stones and designs are of the greatest quality and we receive many compliments everyday. I also had the pleasure of working with Yehouda to find the perfect wedding gift for my wife when I was oon a tight budget. He helped me find exactly what i was looking for within my budget and refused to sell me anything that did not look good! I truly appreciate the care for the customer and attention to detail these guys have. I have already shared their card/information with many friends and highly recommend you check them out if you are looking for a quality jeweler you would like to form a relationship with! read more

A great team of caring individuals. Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity to collaborate! read more

My girlfriend fell in love with a particular ring on their website. So I knew that I would have to go to them in order to fulfill her fantasy.

There are a lot of choices for jewelry in San Francisco, and Yael is by far the best that we have experienced. Their custom engagement ring design services brought our dreams to life with impeccable craftsmanship. The precision of the ring design is extremely impressive. Yehouda was incredibly helpful with explaining the pros and cons of all of the different options. I'm very glad we chose Yael for such an important piece and will definitely be going to them for all of my future jewelry purchases. read more

Yehouda is a magician! My engagement ring came out exactly how I wanted it, with every minor detail perfectly included. The quality of the piece and the entire design process was fantastic. Plus, it took half as long as the other places I had looked. Could not be happier with the end result. I will be back for a matching necklace in the near future! read more
