150 for 150: Yvonne Léon

With a family in the trade, Yvonne Léon was perhaps destined to be a jeweller. Yet through her eponymous label, she’s certainly crafting her own legacy. Hers are treasures inspired by the flea markets of France, reinventing vintage design sensibilities for the modern jewellery collector. Irreverent but classic, familiar yet unexpected, her aesthetic is one of contradiction, beloved the world over, but particularly by Leith Clark, who selected her iconic Malachite Heart Ring, among a handful of other precious pieces, as part of her 150 for 150 Anniversary edit. ⁠ ⁠
