Yafa Signed Jewels
Yafa Signed Jewels is internationally recognized as the leading purveyor of exquisite, museum-quality vintage jewelry crafted by the world’s most esteemed design houses, including Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Harry Winston, David Webb and Bulgari, among others.
Having founded the business alongside his mother Yafa nearly 40 years ago in New York, Maurice Moradof has been traveling the world sourcing rare vintage jewels. With this opportunity to acquire such unique and valuable pieces, he has had the pleasure of working with the discerning clientele of collectors who covet these brilliantly crafted pieces. The family business and passion continued to flourish, adding Moradof’s sister, Rozita Neman, earlier on in 1994, and his son, Tyler, in 2021.
In late 2019, Yafa Signed Jewels expanded to Worth Avenue to have a local retail presence for its avid Palm Beach following.
The vast majority of the jewelry that adorns the showcases dates from the 1940s to the 1990s, a time when multiple pieces were not manufactured but rather crafted as limited editions.
“Our diverse collection offers treasures for connoisseurs and newcomers alike. We have some truly incredible creations that we oftentimes sell back to the houses that made them to be exhibited in their museums around the world,” explains Moradof.
“The traditional client ranges from vintage jewelry enthusiast to philanthropist or royalty; anyone who desires to own incredibly special jewelry—not only as wearable art, but as an alternative investment. Because after all, Yafa Signed Jewels is where you find the unfindable,” says Moradof.
