Born in 1982, Ji Young (Julia) Kang grew up across England, India, Singapore, and China—absorbing how different cultures wear and value jewelry. These diverse experiences gave her the ability to recognize common threads across cultures: meaning, heritage, and the joy of adornment. Bringing that perspective together with Korean craftsmanship and introducing it to new markets has become her greatest passion. Today, she curates Korean handmade accessories with a distinctly global point of view.

    There is a certain kind of glow that cannot be imitated — the kind that starts quietly, expands with confidence, and lights up a room before you even say a word. Elevating your glow is not about trying harder or adding more; it is about choosing pieces, moments, and energies that reflect the best version of you. And when done with intention, your glow becomes effortlessly unforgettable.

    Glow begins with clarity — a clear sense of your own taste, your identity, and the feeling you want to carry through an occasion. Whether you are preparing for a wedding, a special event, or simply stepping into a new chapter of your life, clarity helps you choose accessories that complement, rather than overpower. Your glow should feel like an extension of your natural beauty, not a mask. That is why pieces crafted with precision, balance, and harmony feel instantly transformative. They echo the radiance you already possess.

    To elevate your glow, focus on light. How does the light move through your accessories? Does it catch gently as you turn, or does it create a soft halo around your face? Earrings with reflective crystals or gemstones do more than sparkle — they enhance your complexion, brighten your eyes, and create a dimensional glow that cameras love. When you choose pieces handcrafted by artisans who understand the movement of light, your look becomes alive from every angle. This is the essence of Korean craftsmanship: thoughtful shaping, balanced proportions, and a modern elegance that feels both subtle and striking.

    Your glow deepens with confidence. The right accessory should feel like a quiet secret of power — something that makes you stand taller, smile more freely, and move with purpose. When you wear something that feels meaningful, especially pieces created through multi-generational artisan skill, your inner glow becomes visible. Confidence is not loud; it is steady. It radiates without trying. And beautifully made accessories support that feeling with ease.

    A true glow also comes from harmony — the way your earrings pair with your outfit, the colors that compliment your skin tone, and the textures that add depth without overwhelming your look. Soft tones create a romantic glow, while vivid hues like yellow, emerald, or champagne bring brilliance and energy. Crystal-framed designs add a timeless elegance that enhances your features while keeping everything balanced and graceful.

    Finally, glow is elevated by story. When you wear something meaningful — something crafted by hand, shaped by tradition, or inspired by heritage — your presence carries a richness that store-bought pieces cannot replicate. And when that story begins in Korea, where craftsmanship and beauty are treated as art, your glow becomes even more special.

    Your glow is not just how you look — it is how you feel, how you move, and how you express your own quiet brilliance. Choose pieces that honor that. Choose pieces that illuminate your natural beauty, celebrate your identity, and allow your light to shine in the most exquisite way. When you do, your glow becomes truly elevated — soft, confident, timeless, and unforgettable.

    These striking star-shaped earrings are more than accessories — they’re a conversation between modern craftsmanship and timeless sparkle. Hand-crafted from scratch by skilled artisans in Korea, each pair reflects a balance of geometry, light, and storytelling.

    Design & Craftsmanship

    Every earring is composed of three interlinked star motifs, each meticulously set with a combination of [24] baguette-cut squared crystals and [24] round Czech stones on each side. The contrast between the linear baguettes and radiant rounds captures and reflects light at every angle — creating a statement that is both structured and fluid.

    Made with care and precision, these earrings showcase the best of Korean handmade artistry, where each joint, claw, and crystal placement is done by hand to achieve seamless alignment and comfort.

    Style Notes

    Although these earrings make a bold impression, they’re surprisingly versatile.

    • Age: Suitable for all ages — from youthful chic to sophisticated elegance.
    • Face Shape Tip: Those with round or heart-shaped faces may find the vertical, angular structure slightly elongating; if you prefer softer silhouettes, opt for shorter or curved designs instead.

    The star motif elongates the neckline and enhances outfits from casual blazers to evening dresses.

    Stars have always symbolized guidance, brilliance, and destiny. In Korean tradition, stars are often seen as symbols of hope — lights that lead travelers home. These earrings embody that same sense of direction and beauty: wearable constellations designed to remind you of your own path and shine.

    Perfect for evening events, creative workdays, or whenever you need confidence with sparkle, these earrings bridge modern fashion and handmade heritage. Their design language speaks globally, yet their craftsmanship whispers of Seoul’s meticulous artistry.

    A wedding is never complete with just the dress.
    It’s the accessories — the details that sparkle — that truly elevate the atmosphere and turn fleeting moments into lifelong memories. That’s why we seek pieces that embody not only beauty but also sustainability and exquisite craftsmanship.

    Nicole Please Weddings shares this very philosophy, and today, she is more than an inspiration — she is our collaboration partner. Nicole describes Jiyoung Kang Studio Accessories as “timeless, leaving a lasting impression with designs that are truly one-of-a-kind.” Our partnership ensures that her couples can experience jewelry that perfectly complements the beauty and uniqueness of multicultural celebrations.

    I, Ji Young Julia, have always been deeply inspired by Nicole’s work. Her ability to create inclusive and meaningful weddings for couples of diverse cultural backgrounds is nothing short of extraordinary.

    “Nicole’s approach to weaving together different traditions and cultures into a unified vision resonates with our values, much like the intricate way we craft each accessory. Naturally, this shared vision grew into a collaboration, where jewelry now plays an essential role in telling each couple’s story.”

    Nicole’s journey began with her own experience as a mixed-culture bride. France, Switzerland, and Taiwan — none felt like the natural choice for her wedding. This realization led her to create Nicole Please Weddings, a service dedicated to helping mixed-cultural couples design weddings that truly reflect their unique love stories.

    A colorful explosion of smoke and confetti fills the sky as a couple shares a kiss during their wedding ceremony, surrounded by guests capturing the moment.

    Over the years, Nicole Please Weddings has become synonymous with excellence, recognized worldwide for unforgettable celebrations:

    • Celebrity wedding of Celina Jade (Arrow TV) & Han Geng (Super Junior) in New Zealand: blending Chinese and Western cultures with breathtaking New Zealand scenery.
    • Saudi Arabian couple at the Dolder Grand ballroom, Switzerland: transforming an indoor space into a mystical forest with 404 real trees, executed in just 2.5 months.
    • Commitment to sustainability: incorporating nature responsibly, such as renting plants and trees to minimize waste while delivering grandeur.

    Nicole’s influence extends further as a Swiss Wedding Awards 2023 jury member, the official wedding consultant for Hyatt Group Global since 2022, and being named Top Wedding Planner in Hong Kong by Sassy Hong Kong as well as Gold Award Best Wedding Planner 2023 by Expat Living.

    Now, with her vision aligned with Jiyoung Kang Studio Accessories, weddings go beyond styling alone. Our handcrafted pieces — made with Czech stones and designed to capture light naturally — add brilliance to her celebrations. More than accessories, they become treasures that couples carry with them long after the wedding day.

    Meeting Nicole and collaborating with her has been transformative for us as well. Just as different languages, cultures, and traditions merge into something beautiful, so too do weddings and jewelry. Together, they create the perfect harmony. ✨

    When it comes to beauty and weddings, it’s never just about makeup—it’s about telling a story. Few people understand this better than Jen Ho, the creative force behind Jen Ho Artistry. With roots in international fashion shows and her time working with the renowned cosmetic brand M.A.C, Jen has built her artistry on one simple yet powerful philosophy: every woman has a unique beauty worth celebrating.

    Beauty That Begins with You

    For Jen, makeup is not about covering up—it’s about bringing out what’s already there.
    “Communication and observation are key,” she explains. By listening closely to her clients and noticing the little details—how they carry themselves, the styles they gravitate toward—she’s able to create looks that feel both personal and authentic. It’s this process of collaboration that ensures every bride or client walks away not only looking radiant but feeling truly themselves.

    A Signature of Timeless Elegance

    What makes Jen’s approach stand out in the beauty world? A commitment to lifelong learning. She travels internationally to take advanced classes, staying ahead of global beauty trends while refining her skills. This dedication allows her to create looks that are sophisticated, natural, and timeless—styles that will look as beautiful in photos decades later as they do on the wedding day itself.

    The Silent Power of Jewelry

    Jen also believes that true beauty styling doesn’t stop at makeup—it extends to the details that complete the look. Jewelry, she says, is like an invisible speaker: it amplifies style in a subtle yet powerful way. On a wedding day, the right necklace or pair of earrings can elevate the entire look, whether it’s something minimal or a bold statement piece.

    Creating Harmony Between Makeup & Accessories

    So, how do you make sure your jewelry and makeup don’t compete but instead complement one another? Jen’s advice is simple: decide on your overall vibe first.
    “Just like makeup, jewelry can be minimalistic or glam,” she shares. Once that direction is clear, it becomes easy to balance the two, resulting in a cohesive, harmonious style that feels complete.

    Looking Ahead: The Future of Bridal Styling

    The wedding industry is evolving quickly, thanks in large part to the influence of social media. Brides today find inspiration from celebrity looks, runway shows, and global fashion trends. Jen sees this as an opportunity:
    “By collaborating with JIYOUNGKANG STUDIO, we can give brides not just makeup, but a total styling experience—from timeless elegance to up-to-date charm. It’s about creating a look that adds a touch of class to every celebration.”

    “A day filled with sparkle ✨ So grateful to welcome amazing stylists and buyers to our studio to experience the beauty of our handmade accessories.”

    When it comes to crystals, Swarovski has long been the name brides recognize—flawless, luxurious, and diamond-like. But here at JiYoungKang Studio, we believe your jewelry should do more than just sparkle within the stone. It should bring light to you.

    Swarovski vs Czechstone: The Comparison

    • Swarovski: perfectly cut, flawless brilliance, prestige look—but its sparkle stays mostly inside the crystal.
    • Czechstone: absorbs light and reflects it outward, creating an instant glow on your face. Brides love this natural radiance in photos and in person.
    • Design freedom: Swarovski crystals come in limited, uniform cuts. Czechstones, on the other hand, are available in unlimited shapes and sizes, which means we can design earrings and accessories that are truly unique.

    👉 This is why Czechstones are at the heart of our collections. They don’t just make jewelry sparkle—they make you sparkle.

    We carefully design each piece, beginning with the brass base that is then finished in rich gold plating. Once the design is set, we select and arrange every Czechstone with a thoughtful color combination, creating a harmonious balance of tones that make each pair unique and radiant.
