About NYET Jewelry

Founded by French-born, Chicago-based designer Delphine Pontvieux, NYET Jewelry was born from a desire to create bold, one-of-a-kind pieces in a world of mass production. Every design is handmade in Chicago, crafted with care and individuality using carefully selected hides, metals, pearls, gemstones, rubber, and hardware built to last.

At its core, NYET Jewelry celebrates craftsmanship, durability, and uniqueness. Each piece receives the personal attention of its creator, reflecting Pontvieux’s belief that jewelry should not only enhance style but also embody personal expression. Clients are encouraged to connect directly with the designer, whether to collaborate on a custom piece or to discover collections that speak to their individuality.

Since its inception in 2012, NYET Jewelry has grown from a small garage experiment into an internationally recognized brand, with designs featured at fashion weeks, art shows, and in prestigious publications. Signature collections, from equestrian-inspired chokers to the groundbreaking Caoutchouc Collection — blending rubber and semi-precious gemstones — have earned acclaim for their originality and daring spirit.

NYET also maintains a strong commitment to community. The brand regularly supports charities and nonprofit organizations through donations to silent auctions and fundraising events, including Dancing with Chicago Celebrities (supporting breast cancer research), Make-a-Wish Foundation, Child’s Voice, Rahab’s Daughters, Sea Shepherd, and many more.
