Yazbukey is a fabulous [jewelry brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird) created by Yaz and Emel, two [Ottoman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azza-fahmy) sisters (and princesses!). They make exciting collections inspired by musicals with gorgeous neck and ear pieces.

I think Yazbukey's new Spring/Summer 09 collection entitled "Fantasies" is absolutely cute and fun with its oversized American symbols.

The collection is inspired by [American tourist codes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dean-davidsons-nomad-collection)--and, as Antimonide puts it, "...the American way of life imagined by someone who's never been to the USA."

I particularly fancy the camera-necklace piece.
