Yoko London, the brand known and loved for its pearl jewelry has launched its latest collection, the next evolution of its Zypp Collection. Expect new designs that bring a little edge to pearl jewelry, Michael Hakimian, CEO of Yoko London says of the line, “The latest Zyyp designs showcase White Australian South Sea pearls set in 18K rose and white gold, alongside Golden Indonesian South Sea pearls in yellow gold.” He continues, “Each piece is meticulously pavé-set with diamonds that run seamlessly throughout the design, from the teeth of the zip to the slider itself, creating an unbroken trail of brilliance. This intricate craftsmanship transforms the mechanics of a zipper into a fully jewelled silhouette, unlike anything seen before in pearl jewelry.”
Each Zyyp design is built around the the label’s zipper-inspired mechanism, “First debuted at Haute Jewels Geneva in March 2025, the Zyyp Collection was an audacious reimagining of what pearl jewelry could be, introducing a functional zipper-inspired mechanism into high jewelry design. Now, the collection expands with daring new creations that balance elegance with attitude, rewriting the rules of pearl jewelry for the modern era,” shares Hakimian.
As for the originals and the evolution of this collection, we learn that, “The collection now spans across longer, dramatic diamond zips, shorter, refined versions, and the original classic long design. Expanding beyond necklaces, the line also introduces matching earrings and bold diamond-embellished rings, ensuring the Zyyp aesthetic can be worn in multiple forms.” Fluidity is a key element to the design as Michael says, “Every necklace is fluid and versatile: the zip can be moved to alter the silhouette and fastened at any point, simply by pushing the slider down and clicked into place, while the pearls themselves are removable, allowing the wearer to transition seamlessly from day to night.
Contrasts aplenty, it’s where elegance-meets-edge, “The aesthetic of Zyyp is defined by contrast: the sharp geometry of diamond-set links channels urban modernity and edge, while the luminous pearls soften the silhouette with timeless grace. The result is an arresting harmony of elegance and attitude, sculptural and bold, yet anchored in refinement. This contrast positions Zyyp as a collection for women who seek jewelry that expresses both power and sophistication, marking a new direction for Yoko London’s design language.”
Apart of the Yoko Icons, a campaign celebrating the brand’s most beloved creations, the style joins others, “O by Yoko, a collection that embodies the purity of the house’s identity through chokers and strands shaped around the letters “O” and “Y.” Much like O by Yoko, which is instantly recognisable, Zyyp carries its own distinctive signature: the zipper motif, when viewed in silhouette, can also resemble a “Y,” linking it symbolically to Yoko London’s name.” Michael notes that “together, these collections illustrate the brand’s dual spirit: O by Yoko is pure, minimal, and timeless, while Zyyp is daring, transformative, and avant-garde. Both serve as bold signatures, unlike anything else in the world of pearl jewelry.”
The new Zyyp collection is available to purchase from Yoko London’s flagship Sloane Street store in London, select stockists, and yokolondon.com.
