Patented Pearls
Jac’Queena James™️, Designer, Innovator, Founder of YTUSI®
Jac’Queena James™ is a fashion and industrial designer, inventor, and founder of YTUSI®, a luxury brand shaped by patented design, refined construction, and long term ownership.
Her eye for fashion began early, raised by women who understood elegance, quality, and presence. From thrift stores and Goodwill to Macy’s and Neiman Marcus, she learned how to recognize pieces with value, intention, and lasting style.
As she grew into the luxury space herself, she began to notice what was missing. Beauty did not always mean comfort. Price did not always reflect construction. That awareness pushed her beyond fashion and into design, engineering, innovation, and ownership.
For Jac’Queena, pressure became part of the process. Not having access to everything she wanted forced her to create. Wanting better forced her to build. Refusing to look like everyone else led her to protect her work through trademarks, patents, and design.
Through YTUSI®, she continues to build a world rooted in pearls, structure, identity, and permanence.
These are not your grandmother’s pearls, just the wisdom of them.
