TAI and TIARA KIM

Using techniques like fusion and textures created by chasing and repoussé, we create jewelry that is inspired by nature’s forms. We integrate shapes, textures and images from celestial objects and plants into our works. Many of our works show the vivid contrast of black and gold which is accomplished by fusing gold onto oxidized sterling silver. Some of the most dramatic pieces are asymmetrical and combine multiples of concave oval forms where the repetition creates unique and lush patterns. 

With our reinterpretation of nature’s forms and our own imagination, we intend to create new “life” and visualization in our works. We use precious metals like platinum, gold and silver. Also, materials like iron, meteorites, gems and precious stones are used to fully express and complete our works. From the first design sketch to the last finishing touch, we work as a team on every piece that comes out of our studio.
