Kinn Studio was established in Los Angeles in 2017 by founder and designer Jennie Yoon. In search of a way to re-create antique jewelry her parents had tragically lost, Jennie was inspired to start the Kinn line. In honor of those priceless heirlooms, Kinn makes classic pieces from recycled 14k gold and ethically sourced gemstones. They are committed to creating exquisite jewelry that endures and can be passed down as modern heirlooms.
Production
Kinn partners with manufacturers in Los Angeles, New York, and Italy to make their jewelry.
Kinn is dedicated to creating responsible, traceable, and honest jewelry in a small-scale, ethical and sustainable way. All pieces are crafted in 14k gold recycled from existing jewelry, industrial metals, or electronic components. The materials are refined back to their purest elements, making them equal in quality to newly mined metals. All gemstones are conflict-free and fair trade, and all diamonds adhere to The Kimberly Process. Kinn works with manufacturers in LA, NY and Italy that prioritize fair compensation and safe conditions for their workers.
