Ji Hwang Jewelry
I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Parsons School of Design in 1995 and lived in New York City until moving to Boston in 2001. Until recently, I was the Jewelry Design Coordinator at Gemvara, Inc., where I employed computer aided design (CAD) technology to extend my craft in creating custom jewelry designs.
My early designs depict aspects of urbanism using industrial elements such as pulleys, hooks and wheels. I describe this as “Function is Aesthetic”. Despite such a cold source of inspiration, my pieces are very sensual as they move smoothly around the body and give the wearer a chance to individualize the piece by adjusting the length of the chain.
Nature is the subject in my recent designs. My work about nature tries to reveal nature’s subtle aesthetic, capturing the beauty of its form, the simplicity of its design, and the vitality of its colors without embellishment.
I hope that whoever wears my jewelry feels special with these “one of a kind” designs.
