General Manager: H Fine Jewelry

About the Brand

“We’ve spent decades inside the jewelry industry designing, scaling, watching the same stories get told. We saw who it celebrated. And who it left out. HYOU was born from the decision to do things differently. To reimagine what jewelry could mean when it’s made for her, not handed to her. If you’ve ever felt unseen in the brilliance, we made this brand with you in mind.

And we’re just getting started.” - Founders, Aakrosh & Kinnari.

HYOU Fine Jewelry creates pieces that move with you - bold, personal, and unapologetically modern. We design jewelry that looks elevated, feels effortless, and celebrates individuality.

Our collections feature lab-grown diamonds and high quality gemstones, set in solid 10K gold and 14K gold vermeil layered over sterling silver. Every piece passes strict quality checks to ensure it’s made to last - jewelry meant for everyday wear, not special occasions only.

By working directly with our makers, using lab grown diamonds, and keeping our model lean, HYOU delivers the same sparkle without inflated markups. The result: meaningful, modern fine jewelry that’s accessible, intentional, and personal.

HYOU is for the woman who doesn’t wait to be chosen. She chooses herself. Not someday. Every day. JUST BECAUSE.
