DESIGNER YANINA FAOUR IS ARGENTINA’S “ENFANT TERRIBLE” OF LUXURY JEWELRY, INJECTING NEW LIFE INTO THE CONVENTIONS OF FINE JEWELRY. SHE CREATES BOLD, UNDERSTATED HANDCRAFTED JEWELS THAT TELL A STORY, INSPIRED BY
HER DEEP APPRECIATION OF THE ARTS AND THE ARCHITECTURE OF HER BELOVED HOME BUENOS AIRES.”

 

Yanina began her career on a very different path, working in finance in Boston. After a few years, she was struck with the desire to return to her roots in Buenos Aires and pursue her true vocation and passion in life: jewelry design. Coming from a family of jewelers that goes back to her great grandfather, a traditional metal smith who came to Argentina from Austria, she followed in his footsteps and dedicated herself to creating one-of-a-kind, handmade pieces.

 

Yanina is also available for exclusive commissions of custom-made fine jewelry.

   She launched her own brand Oleana in 2003, combining the artisanal craftsmanship of her ancestors with a fresh, modern aesthetic. What sets Oleana apart is the choice of six distinctive jewelry lines for different moments of the day, drawing from architecture to spiritual inspiration. Aside from businesswoman, Yanina is a mentor and is interested in women entrepreneur's development at all levels. Herself is a follow from Vital Voices Organisation and from the Cherie Blair Foundation in Business Program.
