NYCJW EVENT: "Meet The Designer" Series
We invite you to an intimate exploration of our Fine Jewelry collection at this year’s New York Jewelry Week. Come meet the esteemed designers behind our assemblage of treasures and share in their inspirations, philosophies, and ethos as we all take the essential time to curiously tune into their process.
12-2pm Hi June Parker + S/H Koh
Hyejun Park, founder and designer at Hi June Parker Jewelry, focuses on the power of a jewelry piece to tell a story. Having launched her brand in 2016, Hyejun weaves a narrative through using sustainable and ethically-sourced materials to develop high-quality and time-honored collections. Hyejun will be exclusively previewing her brand new “Add On Charm” series featuring personalized self-gifting or for someone special.
Founder of S/H Koh, SeoHee Koh combines her love of simple, harmonious elegance and 20th century modern art and architecture with her classical design experiences from Tiffany and Co. and Van Cleef & Arpels. The harmony of geometry is everywhere and evident in her jewelry, as she formulates new ideas for designs that are as elegant as they are inspired.
2-4pm Baharra
Come meet H. Bahadir Aphan and discover the sought-after “Baharra Look” the artist achieves through his use of tranquil lines and terrestrial designs. Originating from the Meditteranean, Bahadir integrates raw materials and unconventional cuts to create intricate custom molds for the lover of organic jewelry, full of story.
4-6pm Leslie Paige
Portland, Oregon based Leslie Paige designs stunning and unusual jewelry pieces. A former pastry chef, Leslie now develops more permanent pieces of art, such as her mesmerizing interlocking puzzle pieces and her signature “perched setting”, which showcases the back of stones as well as the front.
