Get to Know Jennie Kwon Jewelry



Los Angeles–based designer Jennie Kwon has been turning out subtle 14k gold styles with tiny beaded accents for two and a half years. A former classical violinist and corporate attorney, she traded both careers for a new one in jewelry once she became a mom. She tested the waters with a course in metalsmithing, fell hard for design, and quickly shifted gears. Now she sketches styles for her jeweler or CAD artist to bring to life through casting or hand-fabrication. Super-delicate pieces comprise hand-pulled wire for durability, and every item is made in LA. Most pieces feature diamond accents, or emeralds, opals, and sapphires for their long-wearing qualities. Kwon also earned recognition for her designs in the 2015 Racked Young Guns Awards.
