About

Sauling Wong, jewelry designer and founder of Essyello. 

 

Essyello makes jewellery for everyday wear. Pieces designed to be worn often, kept for years, and adapted to the person wearing them.
The brand began in Barcelona, where founder Sauling Wong started making jewellery during an internship. Working with leftover textiles and beads, she made small collections and visited local shops to see if they might be interested in carrying them. Weekends were spent searching flea markets for second-hand materials and stones with a history of their own.
What began as a small side project grew gradually through a network of shop owners, market traders and fellow makers. Over time, it developed into something more permanent. After studying branding, Sauling gave the project a name and a clearer direction: Essyello.
Founded in Amsterdam and now based in Barcelona, Essyello works with natural mineral stones, gold-plated finishes and small-scale production. Every stone is selected by hand. Gold plating is done by a local family-run workshop, and each piece is assembled and finished in Sauling's studio in El Born.
Essyello is built on the idea that good jewellery does not need to demand attention. It should feel natural to wear, become part of daily life, and last beyond seasons and trends.
Today, the collection can be found in a selection of independent stores in cities including Amsterdam, Antwerp, Sofia and Barcelona, while production remains small-scale and hands-on in Barcelona.
