JIWINAIA

Korea-born and Milan-based jewelry designer Marisa Jiwi Seok attributes the imaginative aesthetic of JIWINAIA to her formative years at London’s Central Saint Martins. The Italian label takes a sincere and contemplative approach to DIY-style creations, yielding highly detailed pieces that capture the carefree lightness of the tween and teen experience. Palladium-plated necklaces showcase freshwater pearl pendants hand-painted with kitsch symbols that recall Y2K-era emojis, cartoons, and texting slang. Chunky Swarovski crystals strung alongside multicolor beads exude a tasteful high-low charm. Both eclectic and curated, JIWINAIA’s tongue-in-cheek jewelry brings a sense of play into the everyday.
