Yafa Signed Jewels Unveils Significant Signed Jewels Exhibition For Its 40th Anniversary

In the world of vintage jewelry, few names carry the weight and prestige of Yafa Signed Jewels. For four decades, this Palm Beach-based institution has solidified its reputation as a premier destination for museum-quality, one-of-a-kind treasures from the most iconic jewelry houses in history. To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Yafa is unveiling Significant Signed Jewels, an extraordinary exhibition that opens the vault on some of the rarest and most breathtaking pieces ever crafted. Hosted at their flagship boutique on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, this event is a journey through time, artistry, and provenance that promises to captivate jewelry enthusiasts and collectors alike until March 1st.

Since its inception, Yafa Signed Jewels has distinguished itself by sourcing exceptional pieces with stories as compelling as their designs. Over the past 40 years, founders Maurice and Tyler Moradof have scoured the globe to curate a collection that reads like a who’s-who of jewelry royalty: Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, Harry Winston, and David Webb. Many of these jewels have spent years tucked away in private collections or museum archives, rarely glimpsed by the public—until now.

Maurice and Tyler Moradof, the masterminds behind this unparalleled collection, will be on hand to share their expertise, offering insights into the painstaking process of sourcing these treasures and the artistry that ensures their preservation. For collectors and admirers, this is a rare opportunity to connect with the history and craftsmanship behind each piece. “Yafa Signed Jewels with my mother was a leap of faith—driven by a shared passion for rare jewelry and a vision to build something that lasts. Forty years later, it’s rewarding to see how far we’ve come. This business has always been about more than just the pieces we find; it’s about the relationships we’ve built and the commitment to quality and craftsmanship that’s been at the core of everything we’ve done,” notes Maurice Moradof, CEO and Co-Founder.

Among the highlights is a selection of Van Cleef & Arpels’ elusive mystery sets—a technique so intricate that it remains one of the maison’s most celebrated signatures. These pieces, where gemstones appear to float without visible settings, are a marvel of engineering and artistry, coveted by collectors worldwide.

Another gem in the lineup is the Nature Collection Leaf Motif Diamond Necklace, a Van Cleef & Arpels creation that captures the delicate beauty of the natural world in sparkling diamonds. Equally breathtaking is the Bulgari Colombian Emerald and Diamond Necklace, featuring 16 certified Colombian emeralds—a vivid showcase of Bulgari’s mastery in pairing bold color with sophisticated design.

For those drawn to the bold and iconic, the Cartier Panther Brooch is not to be missed. Crafted in platinum and 18K white gold, this legendary piece prowls with diamonds, emeralds, and onyx, embodying Cartier’s enduring fascination with the panther as a symbol of power and elegance. Each jewel on display tells a story—of the hands that made it, the eras it has witnessed, and the vision that brought it to life.

As Yafa Signed Jewels celebrates 40 years of excellence, Significant Signed Jewels stands as a testament to their unwavering dedication to the art of vintage jewelry. “This 40th-anniversary exhibition means a lot to me, especially because it’s a reflection of everything my father, my grandmother, and I have built together. Yafa Signed Jewels has always been about finding and sharing pieces that tell a story—pieces that have become part of our own story. Forty years feels like a milestone, not just for the business, but for our family’s dedication to preserving these rare treasures,” Tyler Moradof, Principal.
