Jang

Haeri is a dedicated and passionate jewelry professional with a BFA in Craft and Material Studies from VCUarts. Her journey in the industry began at the renowned Tiffany & Co., where she had the privilege of working as a model maker and stone setter for 8.5 years. Her time at Tiffany & Co. allowed her to contribute to some of their most iconic and beloved collections, such as Tiffany Hardwear, T1, Atlas, Tiffany Lock, and more.
The art of transforming raw materials into stunning pieces of jewelry has always captivated her. The delicate balance of precision, creativity, and craftsmanship that goes into each piece is a reflection of her attention to detail and commitment to excellence. She often finds her design inspirations from the beauty of nature, incorporating organic forms and natural elegance into her pieces. Her love for nature not only inspires her designs but also reflects her personal connection to the environment and all living things.
Beyond the workbench, she's also a fervent lover of pets. Her affection for animals brings a sense of warmth and compassion to everything she does. She finds inspiration in their playfulness and unconditional love, and they often become her companions during the creative process.
Together, her love for pets, passion for nature, academic background, and years of professional experience blend to create a unique perspective that informs and enriches her work. She invites you to explore her portfolio and discover the essence of beauty and design that defines her creativity.
