The Modern Collection was inspired by a contemporary lifestyle that I observed in New York City, Tokyo and Hong Kong. The collection currently consists of four pairs of earrings and it focuses on simplicity in shapes, lines and colors.
I want the collection to have an industrial and a bit of a futuristic feel, but since I love details, I used multiple silver plates and interlinked them with connecting rings.
The earrings (except the Unique Matte and Hammered Hoop Earrings) all have a rigid look. It is contemporary but very wearable. I used silk matte finish on all of them, the color and texture of the silver plates reminded me of my Mac Powerbook. The idea to interlink the small silver plates was inspired by interlinking subway trains that I take everyday.

Holiday Celebration!
About 150 guests attended the Ippie Design and Gana Atelier Holiday Celebration on Friday night. It was great to see friends and to meet new people. Special thanks to Tak who was our awesome DJ, and played wonderful music all night long! We had so much fun that I am so looking forward to the next event!
Other than showcasing Ippie Design's latest jewelry collection, this holiday party also featured young artists from the Gana Atelier. Jong Ho Ji (sculptor) and Tae Won Jang (photographer) are two very talented emerging artists. Be on the lookout for them!
Here are some picture from the event!

Gana Atelier & Ippie Design Joint Holiday Party
This year to celebrate the holidays and another year of business, Gana Atelier and Ippie Design are hosting a joint holiday party at Gana’s Chelsea Loft Studios on November 9th. Artists and friends will gather to have fun (the most important thing!) and have the chance to view some exciting new paintings and sculptures, as well as to view Ippie Design’s new jewelry collection.
I went over to Gana’s Chelsea Loft Studios last week and met with this amazing sculptor who is currently exhibiting in New York and will also be at our party! His name is Ji, Yong-Ho. All of his sculptures are made of tires. They are amazing, take a look at them!!!!

If you are interested in joining our party, please email: service@ippie.com to RSVP. Space is VERY LIMITED.
