Alef is a jewelry store, gallery, and atelier where its owner the master goldsmith Yeşim Yüksek creates a range of sophisticated pieces using classical goldsmith techniques blended with a modern interpretation and sprinkled with impeccable taste. Yeşim Yüksek had a great achievement by having her two different pieces being selected to “21st Century Jewelry: The Best of the 500 Series” of Lark Books, one of the most prestigious publishers in the USA. Same pieces have also been selected to the book “500 Wedding Rings” in 2007, which was a great success for aTurkish designer being selected in the series. Designs are hand crafted using only 18K or 24K gold, 925K silver and gemstones.
