Both Belle Park and Thakoon Lee, Korean-based jewellery designers own jewellery company, One&Ginium. The brand’s designs convey both traditional and modern elements, Western and Eastern sensibilities to create a luxury jewellery line.
Having freshly graduated from the Glasgow School of Art specializing in jewellery design, Belle met Thakoon in Korea, a veteran in the Seoul jewellery district, to innovate new, original designs and enterprising sustainable manufacturing practices.
One&Ginium is essentially modern-classic, anachronistic for the most versatile wear while maintaining a high-end, luxury feel – rehashing classic designs and accenting modern jewelry with referential touches that hark back to iconic European landscapes and infrastructure. One&Ginium carries this design ethos of repurposing their manufacturing processes, committing to recycling gold, sourcing high quality gemstones from sustainable, labor-free markets in Thailand and upholding artisan standards to produce customizable, one-of-a-kind jewelry that can endure long wear. What separates One&Ginium from other luxury jewellery lines is their commitment to personalizing their pieces to the wearer, from design, material, down to the fit of the accessory.
Later this month, One&Ginium will be showcasing their designs from 27th until the 31st at Shoreditch, 9 Club Row.
They will be exhibiting current jewellery collections as well as sketches of original designs still in the drafts. Included in the exhibition will be a gallery of professional shoots, showcasing both new and staple designs worn on models.
