About the Designer, Jady Woo
Brooklyn born entrepreneur, Jady learned jewelry making from a young age, learning various techniques and experimenting with different materials under the guidance of a family friend. Through the years, Jady remained connected to her creative side, finding work within the fine arts, museums and fashion/designer jewelry. In doing so, she rediscovered her appreciation for the arts. After being laid off in 2023, this setback became an opportunity to reassess her personal & career goals, one that would allow her to merge her artistic talents with her entrepreneurial mindset. Determined to solidify her artistic identity, she decided to establish her own brand. Her collections feature a harmonious blend of silver color metals with vintage and antique style materials.
