Yun Gee Park’s jewelry explores and expands on traditional gemstone and pearl design in a thoughtful and often playful manner. She re-examines the materials and connotations of conventional designs, like the classic opera length pearl necklace, by introducing and integrating new and unusual materials and elements, such as meteorite, vintage toys, and Alaskan gold nuggets, with excellent quality colored gems and pearls.
