The godfather of the butterfly hair clip, Gerard Yosca takes a whimsical approach to luxury costume jewelry — giving it a high-end, arts-and-crafts look. Yosca has designed jewels for Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Nicole Miller, and Tracy Reese, but it’s his signature pieces — handcrafted in his NYC studio — that show the true breadth of his inspiration. With a background in graphic design and fashion, but an undying love for jewelry, Yosca designs gold earrings, crystal brooches, coral cluster statement necklaces, and bracelets that feature unusual gemstones and asymmetrical shapes. With every piece he creates, Yosca communicates a message of playful beauty that is distinctly his own.
