Los Angeles-based, old-world manufacturing house Sylva & Cie radiates a timeless quality that surpasses trends and seasons and captures the essence of the unique. With more than 20 years of experience crafting and manufacturing distinct pieces, design powerhouse Sylva Yepremian celebrates the diversity of her clientele and is dedicated to creating hand-crafted fine jewelry that is distinctive and fashionable.


Bridging art and fashion, Sylva’s designs tell a story. Reclaimed stones arranged with an impressionistic eye and a guardian’s care are placed one by one into a new context, combining history with the present. Long-forgotten jewels are released back into the world, once again attending dinner parties and dancing after midnight.

By designing pieces of jewelry as works of art, Sylva allows her jewelry and the client to connect on a personal level. Women of style have chosen to incorporate her jewels as a staple in their everyday wardrobe, as well as when the spotlights shine on their biggest nights of the year.

Each and every piece designed by Sylva is a limited edition and unique from others. Natural elements are hand-selected from around the world and thoughtfully crafted into bold arrangements of stones, making each piece as unique as the woman who wears them.

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.
