handcrafted fine jewelry since 1987

A recent blow-in from America, Yaroslav Shukel is a fine jewelry designer and maker with over 35 years of experience. His work in high carat gold and platinum has won numerous awards. Specializing in wearable works of art, Yaroslav's luxury-grade colored gemstone rings are individually crafted from just a stone and a block of gold or platinum, worked to perfecting using handtools. Yaroslav rarely uses CAD (computer aided design), prefering the intimacy of hand work.

The Shukel Designs collection features many options for wedding bands, simple or ornate. We also offer single or three stone rings, unique brooches, earrings, and necklaces. Simple elegance is the hallmark of these designs. If you don't see exactly what you are looking for on our website, don't hesitate to get in touch. We can work with you to find the gemstone you are seeking.

We work directly with reputable wholesale gem dealers, giving us special access to unusual and unique stones. The stones we work with have been individually chosen for their quality and rarity. Our extensive collection of gems includes moonstones, mine and European cut diamonds, garnets, and emeralds. We are always on the lookout for unusual gems.

The majority of our stones are industry certified, unheated and untreated, just as nature made them.

Handmade jewelry of this calibre is rare, and Yaroslav keeps to his incredibly high standards.
