An artist based in New York, Yael Sonia designs jewelry that moves you. Made with 18-karat gold and semiprecious stones, her sculptural designs take their initial inspirations from childhood toys, nature, or even societal ideas about marriage. Sonia applies her unique vision, along with her artistic and technical skills, to interpret these concepts in a completely new and wildly imaginative way. Deeply embedded in each work is a sense of play, of energy, and of clean-lined beauty. Iconic collections include “Perpetual Motion,” which suspends rolling spherical gems within gold tracks, free of prongs and traditional settings; the toy-inspired “Spinning Top”; and “Rock,” with its loosely shaped rough gemstones delicately held within open ring shanks. Celebrating twenty-five years of design, Sonia continues to create modern, sophisticated jewelry that sets gemstones free and, at times, in motion.
