Yeri Jun is a New York-based designer, entrepreneur, and a lifelong learner.
Korean bred, New York-based jewelry designer Yeri Jun has always had a natural passion for jewels. She grew up staring at sparking gemstones at her aunt's jewelry boutique as a young girl. Without knowing how valuable they were, she loved looking at them piece by piece and felt blissful moments as if a graceful lady. She started studying fine arts at the age of 12. While earning a BFA in art history and ceramic arts at Ewha Womans University, she began making her own jewelry and wearing it. With her undying passion for jewels, Yeri moved to New York City to achieve her dream - becoming a jewelry designer. After creating a series of jewelry for fashion brands and private clients' one of kind bespoke pieces, she launched her own brand YERI to create modern heirloom fine jewelry. Yeri believes that jewelry should be worn and shine with the wearer, as it captures fleeting moments and holds countless memories. She was featured in Vogue, and her designs have been adopted by international brands including Swarovski.
Currently, Yeri Jun is in the MBA program at Fordham University to fulfill her aspirations with her creativity merged with the analytic mind.
