Welcome to Wei+Yez

We believe that confidence and style have no boundaries. We're dedicated to crafting genderless pearl jewelry that embraces the beauty of things in their natural state alongside the timeless allure of neutrality.

At Wei+Yez, we revere the understated elegance of simplicity. We take pride in creating high-quality, gender-neutral pearl designs that rewrite traditions and redefine sophistication. Our devotion to minimalist beauty and unparalleled craftsmanship shines through each piece we design and produce. As a family-owned and operated business, we take pride in everything we do, from the quality of our pearls and designs to our stellar customer service.

Our Story

Wei+Yez was born out of a desire to create pearl jewelry designs that look good on everyone, regardless of gender and sexual orientation. Traditionally, pearls are thought of as feminine, only worn by wealthy women in expensive evening gowns at formal events. While pearls are always elegant and look great in formal settings, we believe pearls are capable of so much more. Pearls are eclectic. They can be sexy and reserved, stoic and fun, adventurous and cozy, chic and relaxed—all at once. That's why we'll never have sections for "women's jewelry" or "men's jewelry." These are prescriptive categories. The only descriptor any of our pieces need is that it's yours, and we know that you'll love it—no matter who you are.

All our pearl jewelry is gender-neutral by design. We strive to model our jewelry on a cast of people diverse in race, background, body type, gender, and sexual orientation. Our customers are not governed by labels, so neither are our designs or our models.

Our Pearls

To us, ethically sourcing superior freshwater and saltwater pearls and selecting only those of the highest quality is an art form. We look for the potential in each pearl we choose, finding joy in its journey from procurement to being crafted into a work of art you will treasure for a lifetime. With our family deeply rooted in the pearl wholesale industry in Zhejiang, China, we procure our pearls firsthand, ensuring authenticity and uncompromised quality.

Based out of the coastal city of Zhuhai, China, Yez is a self-taught jewelry designer and a single mother. A lifelong lover of pearls, Yez considers them to be the embodiment of beauty, elegance, and confidence. She currently operates a thriving pearl business in China and has cultivated over a decade of experience in sourcing, designing, and handcrafting high-quality freshwater and saltwater pearl pieces.

Wei

Meanwhile, in Barcelona, Spain is Wei. With a background in education, he's taught Mandarin to kindergarteners in Boston and English to Chinese actors in Beijing. But in 2021, he needed to make a change. Wei resolved to continue his education and study marketing and international management in Barcelona and Milan. After earning his degrees, Wei realized that a life of climbing the corporate ladder was not for him. It was then that he and his cousin Yez had the idea of creating a distinctive jewelry brand focused on unique, gender-neutral pearl designs.

During his downtime, Wei enjoys movies with happy endings, showcasing his culinary prowess, and taking in the electric atmosphere of music festivals with his friends.
