JEZEBEL London Jezebel London is created with the desire to crystallise the cool side of diamonds and make them the essence of female charisma from day to bed. Diamonds being occasional is only an urban legend. It is time to take them out of their boxes, and embrace them to manifest woman’s personality. The brand’s story routes back to two Turkish students’ university years. Meeting at London College of Fashion, Yasmin and Tümay followed the same passion for diamonds and created luxury jewellery available to all metropolitan women to wear day and night.
