Korean Jeweller

Heeseung Koh has been a jewellery maker for over three decades, training and living in Seoul, South Korea. Working primarily in silver, Koh’s most recent work is interested in the interaction between wearer and jewellery, exploring the tactile experience of texture and weight, as well as the symbols and stories we attribute to treasured pieces of jewellery. She looks to create tension between shape and materials, particularly drawn to rings’ round holes and the discovery of new shapes as the ring is removed from the wearer’s hands. She was a Finalist for the Loewe Craft Prize in 2019.
