Sissy Yates Designs
As a young child, Sissy traveled extensively with her family. Her fascination with the colorful and translucent qualities of rare stones was first cultivated along the beaches of Cape Cod, the Caribbean, Europe and Mexico.
For several years Sissy worked at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where she admired and studied the vast collections of rare Asiatic and Oriental jewelry. These ancient works of art remain a strong influence in her current jewelry designs.
Sissy’s jewelry showcases opals, topaz, kyanite, labradorite, chalcedony, turquoise, mother-of-pearl, coral and lapis. The designs are versatile and appropriate for a wide variety of occasions from informal to formal. Many of the necklaces can be worn either long or wrapped.
