Crown of the Ocean: A Masterpiece by Jimin Jung

Unveiling the Unique Design Inspired by Nature's Majesty

Jimin Jung's design inspiration for the "Crown of the Ocean" came from the dynamic form of nature, specifically the gray whale's tail and the sea. The aim was to express this dynamic form in a pattern, resulting in a unique bracelet that captures the movement of the whale's tail in the sea. This innovative approach to design sets Jung apart in the field of jewelry design.

The "Crown of the Ocean" is not just a bracelet, but a representation of the birth of the sea. The original prong, inspired by the shape of the gray whale's tail, and the aquamarine gemstones, symbolizing the sea, are key features of this design. Crafted from 18k yellow gold, the bracelet measures 28mm x 231mm x 17mm, making it a statement piece that is sure to catch the eye.

This project marked a departure from Jung's previous work, which was primarily driven by architectural forms. In designing the "Crown of the Ocean", Jung broke his own rules and embraced a new design approach. This shift in design philosophy was a challenge, but ultimately allowed Jung to explore his potential as a jewelry designer.

The "Crown of the Ocean" was designed and crafted in New York in January 2017. It is a testament to Jung's innovative approach to design and his ability to capture the essence of nature in his work. The bracelet is designed to be worn on either wrist, allowing the wearer to showcase the beauty of the design.

The "Crown of the Ocean" was awarded Silver in A' Jewelry, Eyewear and Watch Design Award in 2017. This prestigious award recognizes top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation. The award is a testament to Jung's exceptional design skills and his ability to create unique and captivating pieces of jewelry.
