As you know, at The Shop, we have vastly expanded the range of items available to include a rather exquisite selection of jewellery. And so, to highlight all the new and talented designers we carry, we’re bringing you this series to showcase the talented créateurs we’re currently working with. This week, we’re featuring the unique and inventive fine jewellery of Hi June Parker.
Born in Seoul, Korea and raised in Singapore, jewellery designer HyeJun Park attended Syracuse University to study Industrial Design. She fell in love with the craftsmanship and the art of Metalsmithing upon taking a studio elective class and moved to New York City to pursue her passion for jewellery design.
HyeJun has since designed and developed jewellery for fashion brands such as Liz Claiborne, Juicy Couture, Kenneth Cole and Macy’s. During this time, she designed custom jewellery pieces for close friends and family whilst developing and refining her own aesthetic and style for her line: Hi June Parker Jewelry.
Growing up in large cities, HyeJun has always been fascinated with the contrast between the industrial and organic nature of the urban landscape. The synergy of order and disorder found within these environments from concrete jungle to nature are sources of inspiration for her. She sees beauty in the structural elements of buildings, construction sites and the composition of nature, such as parks and waterfronts that exist between these spaces.
Thank you for helping us support the work of emerging artists and artisans from around the world, independent designers and modern craftspeople who still make beautiful things by hand.
