Yanina Faour is an artistic jewelry designer and fourth generation jeweler. She creates intimate pieces inspired by the fine arts and architecture of Buenos Aires. Her collections, handcrafted locally, are made of exquisite fine sculptural jewelry.

Yanina uses Art Deco and Art Nouveau as inspiration. In 2003 she created her boutique, Oleana, which Guerlain selected as a reference for its brand in Argentina. She has shown her work internationally in Workshop Fashion Agency, during Paris fashion week and in the Tokyo “Rooms” Show.
