Tucked among the rolling hills just outside Jerusalem lies a true hidden gem: the YVEL Design Center - home to Israel’s premier luxury jewelry house, where top tier design meets local excellence and meaningful social impact.
YVEL is a story of vision and heart. Founded by Orna and Isaac Levy, a young Jerusalem couple who transformed their personal dream into a national legacy. What began as a modest venture has become a global center for creativity, innovation, and social responsibility.
Today, YVEL employs over 100 people from 20 different countries, forming a vibrant mosaic of cultures and talents. New immigrants and long time Israelis, artists and designers from East and West, work side by side crafting jewelry that tells a universal story of connection and creativity.
In 2010, inspired by a deep sense of purpose, Orna and Isaac established Megemeria - a philanthropic school dedicated to the art of jewelry making. Focused especially on Ethiopian-Israeli immigrants, the school offers not just professional training, but a chance to build confidence, identity, and a meaningful new chapter in Israel.
Megemeria was born from the belief that immigration is not a burden, but an opportunity, a chance to build bridges between cultures, communities, and people.
The YVEL Design Center opens its doors to visitors with a captivating behind the scenes tour. Learn about the lives and work of the artists, explore the jewelry making process, and experience firsthand how beauty, values, and craftsmanship come together under one roof.
