About
Kenny, with a familial background in a fine jewelry store and a lineage of jewelers, naturally harbored a passion for design. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison where the couple met, they relocated to California. Kenny pursued education at the G.I.A, while Shar-Linn initially delved into the financial sector before succumbing to the allure of jewelry, following Kenny's path.
In 2011, they tied the knot and decided it was time to elevate their designs by collaborating as a team, creating jewels tailored for modern women. Currently residing between Bangkok and Singapore, the couple frequently travels the region, seeking inspiration for their contemporary collection imbued with Asian flair.
INSPIRATION
In the vibrant world of design, Kenny and Shar-Linn, two designers with contrasting inspirations, found an unexpected harmony that defined their unique creative collaboration. Kenny, driven by an avant-garde spirit, draws inspiration from the boundless wonders of nature, particularly the sea, which fueled his imagination. On the other hand, Shar-Linn, captivated by the allure of the Art Deco period and Oriental arts, sought to breathe new life into traditions, creating modern styles that echoes the eclectic charm of Art Deco.
Their studio is a melting pot of creativity, where geometric lines seamlessly intertwined with subtle curves, forging a visual language that spoke of their diverse influences. The Art Deco era's elegance and Shar-Linn’s commitment to infusing tradition with contemporary flair complemented Kenny's organic and fluid designs inspired by the ever-changing sea.
