Nahae Kim and stoa
Nahae Kim designs and makes sterling silver jewelry in Seoul. Rather than repeating trends, stoa records forms that keep the maker's own point of view and taste.
Carved by thought, shaped by taste. Vintage textures, plain forms and the occasional bit of humour, finished slowly by hand.
How the work is made
Design, wax carving, casting cleanup, oxidizing, finishing and stone setting are handled by one pair of hands. A piece is only kept if its form can be explained and the surfaces that touch the body are comfortable.
