I have never been in a jewelry shop as unique, relaxed, and wonderful as Yaf's. The moment I walked in I felt like family. Each piece is beautifully made and full of life. And my new best friend Serena put a personal touch on every piece I admired, taking note of my style and preference as we shopped. I walked away with this AMAZING necklace, and two new midi rings that add awesome accents to my tomboy femme style. Thank you Yaf, Akua, and SERENA (my new bestie) for making my first experience so memorable and fun!!! read more

Yaf Sparkle - Moonstone necklace to evoke and embrace my divine feminine everything. - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

Wonderful wonderful selection of fine jewelry and exquisite personalized service! A must in the Lower East Side!

"YAF SPARKLE" is an amazing boutique men's and women's jewelry shop. I had the pleasure of meeting YAF herself who is also a designer. Besides her own brand which is quite exquisite, she also carries "Buddah To Buddah" "Johnny Farah" "Lyon Fine Jewelry" and "Monika Knutsson". They have rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pendants and cuff links. I had the pleasure of receiving the "Buddah To Buddah" "Ben Ring" and I love it! Whether you are buying pieces for yourself or as gifts, they will be appreciated by all! Proceeds from purchases also help benefit a non-profit (The ASA Foundation) YAF started to help children in Senegal West Africa with clothing and toys. I wanted to keep this place a secret but the world must know about this special place and the wonderful things it is doing! read more

Yaf Sparkle - Ben Ring - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

TL;DR: I wanted a unique sterling ring, but paid the price of a gold one and received an unidentified, unstamped amalgam that's turning my hand the color of swamp muck. If I'd rated Yaf Sparkle when I first walked out their door, I would have given the shop 5 stars. The pieces are lovely and unique, & the woman who helped me was wonderfully sweet. Plus, since gold isn't really my thing, for a $50 "custom fee," they were willing to pull the stones from a gold ring I liked & put them into an otherwise-identical sterling setting (of the correct size) instead. Back home, as I waited for the new setting to come in, it hit me that if a ring is $300 in gold, it shouldn't be $350 in sterling. Charge me the customization fee, sure, but charge it on top of an appropriate base price. Gold is 6-8x more expensive than silver (by the gram), which means that even if you're comparing 10k gold to sterling silver (0.925), the gold should be at least twice as much. The price for my ring didn't add up. I felt a lot more "3 stars" about Yaf Sparkle then, but I'd already paid...& the woman I'd worked with was so nice...& I really was looking forward to wearing my ring once it came in. Ok, fine: I decided to consider the inflated price a donation to a small business paying LES-level rent, or something like that. I picked up my ring the next week, & at first it seemed to be what I'd expected: two beautiful dark geode halves in a sterling setting, resized to my hand. After a few hours, however, I realized the alignment of the stones was off. They hadn't resized the ring, as promised; they'd just manually squeezed the two stone-ends closer together, which made the ring tighter at the expense of the original design. What finally got me to write a review, however, was this: Two days ago, I moved the ring to a different finger while I was knitting. The fit on that finger was a bit tighter, & when I went to move the ring back to where I usually wear it, I found a dark green line in my skin under the band. I was horrified, & got out my magnifying glass to confirm my suspicion. Sure enough: there's no stamp anywhere on the inside of that ring. I've no idea what silver-colored stuff it's made of, but it isn't sterling silver; I don't even know if it's worth getting the piece appraised. (I've worn sterling rings & pendants daily since junior high school; the only one that ever turned my skin green was one that I wore the (surprise!) plating off of within 6 weeks of buying it from a street vendor.) In short: I wanted a unique sterling ring, but I paid for a gold one and received an unknown, unstamped amalgam that's turning my hand the color of swamp muck. Yaf Sparkle has pretty things & friendly shop employees, but don't buy anything there unless you've given it a very detailed inspection and/or can drop hundreds of dollars (per piece) on novelty items. I'm sad that I won't be going back. read more

Very patient. Very nice. Very flexible with exchanges. My wife is very tough to buy for but loves the stuff in this shop. More importantly, other women have complimented her On the jewelry I purchased for her from y&s. Most necklaces cost in $200 - $300 range. An added bonus: Yaf and Kat are super sweet and will gladly help you make a selection. read more

I love their simplistic design, but yet unique and stylish. To me, most of their designs are something you can wear for a long time. The store carries variety of designs from different designers which gives a good mix of products. Yaf is very friendly and understands my style. I bought their silver bar necklace which I love!! Their crystal/stone pieces are also very beautiful. I will definitely come back next time! read more

They are petty and greedy, beware! My mom bought earrings for $595 and asked to return them less than 1-hr after buying (she thought it was $195 and didn't pay attention) and they wouldn't let her, citing the 'no refunds' policy. Just be extra sure that you want to do business with them before you do. read more

Best jewelry store I've been to. The selection is so unique and beautiful, the sales people are knowledgable, classy, and never pushy. Whenever I go in there, I want so many things. Extremely well curated. I've been to both locations, and they are equally amazing. The customer service is outstanding. Yaf & her husband take pride in their shops, and treat you like family. Yaf sent a beautiful note with a purchase that I had delivered to my house. She recently followed up via email in regards to a conversation we had in the store, and she even remembered my husbands name! I highly recommend checking it out. read more

Service, style, quality, beauty...........I could go on and on. Make a point to stop by this little treasure and find out for yourself.

Lovely shop and an even more lovely owner. One of the sparkly highlights of our last trip to the city

I loved the earrings - designer at Sparkle and made in Brazil....unique and beautiful!

What a beautiful collections of pieces. One thing I've noticed shopping for jewelery in NYC is that often stores are either high end snobby or low-end bleh. This store is vibrant and friendly and offers collections from true artisans. It's a treasure. The service makes all the difference - you'll leave feeling like a goddess (or king) and a little more, well... Sparkly! read more

I love Yaf and I love this store. Her merchandise is beautiful and the service is superb. She has a nice variety of jewelry and gift items. I shopped in her store and purchased several pieces. I then called her when I returned back to Ohio to order a few additional Cors candles. I received them the next day. I will definitely return to this store when I am back in NYC. read more

I had bought a beautiful Pound Pendulum that I absolutely loved. It needed to be repaired a and I wasn't sure what I should do. I spoke to Maya who works there and told her my situation. She was beyond helpful and highly accommodating. She went above and beyond to make sure I got the repair I needed. I was so happy and really got to experience amazing customer care and service. Maya was so helpful and without a doubt is one of the reasons I will be coming back to shop here. This place not only has such beautiful Jewelry but a very good positive vibe. It's because the people that work there are so pleasant. I highly recommend Yaf Sparkle. read more

I just LOVE this store!!!! although there are quite a few jewelry stores in the neighborhood, this one is really SPECIAL! they have a great collection of very unique pieces and they always get new things in. So I enjoy to go there frequently to add something to my repertoire - can never be enough bling... Amazing quality leather goods as well. Very unique and high end. You can be certain that you get your boyfriend or yourself a piece that no one has already. another huge highlight are the store owners. Yaf - who also gave the store it's name - has an incredible knowledge about jewelry, design and craft and production.... and there is nothing that can not be customized. I had such a wonderful conversation with her and was so happy with my piece!!!! Whatever you like - she can offer/ find/ design for you... Stop by and have a look yourself. also all the love for the detail I was very attracted to. Every single piece they offer is handpicked and tastefully selected. loved there line of semi precious stones (pendants, rings, arm cuffs etc.) what ever you need to sparkly spark - it's there!!! read more

Wonderful jewelry business on Orchard Street, owned by the loveliest couple. I've been collecting jewelry for many years, and when you get to meet the designer, and can also help support a creative local business, it makes the jewelry even more special. Can't say enough great things about this place, it is absolutely charming, and I wanted to buy everything in there. The owners were so sweet and told me a lot about the jewelry and they spent a lot of time telling me about the various stones, I learned so much, and they didn't mind answering my questions at all, they were so nice, and you could tell they love what they do. It really shows. Will definitely be back for more shopping soon! read more

I love this boutique. Got my third year anniversary's leather cuff. It was a great experience! It's my first time to buy leather goods in the US, market here is different from China. I did not buy anything first time here and then searched a lot and came back here to have the exquisite cuff. My wife also loves that. Besides the products, Yaf and her husband are also helpful. It was also fantastic to talk with them about their life experience. Anyone who wants to go there, please help me check out how's it going with their baby's French and Germany. read more

Yaf knows the designers and considers them friends and you can commission special pieces. It's a superb shop well worth a visit. read more
