Between busy workdays, endless to-do lists, and everything happening lately, life can feel like a constant balancing act. Some days, you just need a little pause from it all.

For me, that often means finding my way back to New York. ❤️

I miss its energy, its beautiful places, its endlessly interesting people, and that unmistakable feeling that makes NYC unlike anywhere else. No matter how hectic life gets, the city always has a way of recharging me and reminding me to look around, stay curious, and find beauty in the everyday.

Dinner with friends, a great glass of wine, and the soulful sounds of jazz turned out to be exactly what I needed. A very NYC evening, and a little piece of home.

I’ve always found inspiration in the places I go and the people I meet. Sometimes, all it takes is stepping away from the daily rush to see things differently and feel inspired again.

New York, you’re still one of my favorite places in the world — my forever source of inspiration, and always home. ✨🗽🎷

Every time I receive The Jewelry Trendbook by TRENDVISION, I’m reminded why it has been one of my favorite resources throughout my years as a jewelry designer.

I’ve been using this book for years and have always recommended it to anyone interested in jewelry and design. It has been a wonderful source of inspiration for me — helping me discover new ideas, colors, shapes, materials, and creative directions as I develop my collections.

What I especially love is that it doesn’t feel like simply “following trends.” For me, it’s a way of looking ahead, opening my mind, and seeing where the world of design is going.

And sometimes, I open the book and find ideas and directions that are very close to pieces I’ve recently created or am still developing. That is always such a wonderful feeling — a little validation of those creative instincts and ideas that come naturally during the design process.

The Jewelry Trendbook 2028 is once again on my desk, inspiring me, guiding me, and making me curious about what’s next.

A resource I’ve trusted for many years and one I’m always happy to recommend. ✨💎

A fresh start to fall, carrying with me a summer filled with beautiful discoveries, unexpected inspiration, and plenty of new ideas for the jewels to come. ✨

Loving my new A.LAND @aland_store jeans from Seoul—a little reminder of a summer I’m not quite ready to let go of, and the wonderful energy I brought home from Korea. 🇰🇷💖

And somehow, an unplanned little twinning moment with my Hello Kitty souvenir from Tokyo. 🎀😸

This summer brought me back to what matters most. ✨

After spending two decades building my life and journey as a fine jewelry designer in and around New York City, NYC has become so much more than a place—it’s home, and always will be a deep source of inspiration for me.

I recently returned from Korea, my first home, where this summer was all about family, slowing down, reconnecting, and reflecting on what truly matters. Coming back to NYC, I’m reminded of the energy of this city—the movement, the architecture, the people, the light, and that feeling that anything is possible.

NYC continues to inspire the way I see, create, and tell stories through jewelry. Like an engagement ring, every piece carries meaning, marks a moment, and becomes part of a much bigger story.

As I continue my journey as a fine jewelry designer, I feel deeply grateful for the places I call home, the people who shape me, and the inspiration that continues to surround me.

Here’s to family, meaningful moments, new chapters, and always finding inspiration in the places that feel like home. 🗽✨💎

✨ Sleep No More Seoul ✨

Originally from the UK, Sleep No More became one of my favorite immersive experiences in NYC—I saw it three times at the McKittrick Hotel before it closed. So I was thrilled to see my friend, Miss Jackson JuYoung, founder of @sleepnomoreseoul, bring this incredible experience to Seoul and introduce it to Korean audiences. 🇰🇷

The entire historic building becomes the world of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, allowing you to freely explore and discover the story in your own way. I’m truly impressed by how JuYoung made it all happen in such a remarkable and historic space.

Some people have even seen the show 160 times on their own—yes, it’s that good! 😮 And the Seoul production is on a much bigger scale than the NYC version.

I didn’t get to see the show this time, but they’ve also opened a cabaret for anyone who simply wants to come by, enjoy the music, and soak in the atmosphere. 🎶

Such a special experience, and even better catching up with my friend JuYoung! ❤️
