REVIEW: GERARD YOSCA Carousel Necklace

Over the years I could not help but notice the couture, gorgeous jewelry designs created by GERARD YOSCA.  Every high end fashion magazine that you can think of has featured beautiful models adorned in his divine jewels.  I have always dreamed of being one of those lucky gals who can proudly wear one of his magnificent works of art.  GERARD YOSCA jewelry is extraordinary, and when you put on one of his pieces it is like wearing a fine art masterpiece!  If you are not familiar with the stunning GERARD YOSCA jewelry, let me briefly introduce him to you:

About GERARD YOSCA
{Adapted from the Gerard Yosca Website}

New York City-based designer Gerard Yosca is a legend among the fashion and jewelry elite. For nearly three decades, he has created innovative, trend-setting collections that inspire year after year. Entirely self taught, his fascination with understanding how things are made has led him on a constant quest to discover, create and design – first arts and crafts as a self-described ‘nerdy art kid’ and later, as an adult, with the development of his namesake jewelry collections. Primarily known for his bold, statement-making luxury fashion accessories, Gerard also designs private label goods for nearly all of the industry heavyweights. 

Gerard made a name for himself as he created fashion-forward accessories with the same quality as the vintage gems he found in his mother and grandmother’s jewelry boxes; incorporating plated metal and enamel and applying historical design techniques in a modern way - a philosophy he continues to practice today.

For his namesake collections, Gerard remains dedicated to making quality, handcrafted goods in the United States. He meticulously creates each piece in his New York studio alongside his loyal staff, resulting in a signature look personalized for its wearer. His passion lies in the steadfast belief that the customer should see the “hand of the artist” – a mantra that sets him apart from his peers.

REVIEW

I received the exquisite Carousel Necklace from GERARD YOSCA, isn't it brilliant!  It is so enchanting and splendid beyond words, it takes my breath away every time I look at it! 

When you behold this necklace in your hands, you can feel the superior quality of the weight of the materials used to render this piece.  Yet when you put the necklace on, the weight of it disappears and all you feel is pride and joy!  GERARD YOSCA jewelry is meticulously crafted with the idea that these pieces will last a lifetime and beyond!  His jewelry will be pieces that can be handed down from generation to generation.  Heirloom quality is unquestionable!

The large, vibrant, glass stones are of the finest quality and to some may appear as genuine stones!  The stones are expertly cut, some are faceted, and the necklace oozes elegance and glamour!

What I love most about this Carousel Necklace is that in all its splendor, you can wear it with anything!  I love wearing it with a plain white tee shirt, a pair of sexy skinny jeans and a hot pair of booties!  This necklace is all I need to catch the eye of those around me, and I feel super chic with it on!  Of course, it also looks radiant with my favorite black dress too!

GERARD YOSCA jewelry pieces always make a bold statement, that is part of their allure.  Perhaps in the past these types of couture jewelry pieces were worn with dressier fashions, but in today's modern fashion world, anything goes!  These chunkier, jeweled pieces are the ideal fashion accessories to use to create your own unique look!  Gerard's collections are constantly evolving, so the number of each jewelry piece is limited.  So you can bet that when you own a GERARD YOSCA piece of jewelry, you will be able to stand out from what is ordinary and look extraordinary!

This particular Carousel Necklace is no longer available from GERARD YOSCA.  However, there is another gorgeous necklace that is very similar to it and I highly recommend it as an irresistible addition to your jewelry collection.  Here it is:

FRINGE NECKLACE
Price:  $305

This concludes my review.
