In person, Ky can only be described as kind, gracious and never without her sparkling sense of humor. These qualities translate organically into her unique and inspiring handcrafted jewelry. A native to Korea, Ky has always found comfort in the aesthetic of nature. She studied at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and has a fashion merchandising background with Giorgio Armani, Tod’s, and Calypso.

She began making jewelry only as a hobby, when her designs quickly became a favorite of friends and admired by all who encountered them. Her artistic talent, combined with the healing process of chromo therapy is what makes her collection of stones and crystals so captivating. Ky uses only the best pieces, collected from exotic locations around the world, including Argentina, Korea, Japan and Colombia.
