I left London, but London hasn’t left me! When an opportunity arises to visit the UK capital, I am there! So, on the last day of August, I attended the opening of Yoko London’s new flagship boutique, housed in a grand 19th-century building on Sloane Street. The British pearl jeweller has curated an expansive space for its core collections and High Jewellery creations, plus private areas for VIP clients seeking something special. Let me take you inside the new store and share my impressions of this Yoko London destination…

When the Hakimian family get in touch and ask you to be one of the first visitors to their brand’s new London flagship boutique, you get on a plane (or the Eurostar, in my case)! So it was a pleasure to be invited to witness the latest jewel in Yoko London’s pearl crown, located on Sloane Street in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It’s a fantastic location on a popular shopping street that links Sloane Square and the King’s Road to Knightsbridge, where you’ll find Harrods department store.
