Recently I got to pop up at the @Welcome to Chinatown Hub and showcase my collection in the nonprofit’s new space for small business innovation.
I loved seeing what pieces customers gravitated toward—I was especially pleased to see a lot of people drawn to the Smoke Billow Bicep Cuff and Baby Boba Ear Cuff, my newest pieces.
It was an honor to be alongside the historic Ting’s Gift Shop, which showcased their gorgeous deadstock vintage clothing and goods, the always wonderful Dae Tea and their delicious teas, and lovely local gua sha shop Ginger Chi.
Thank you so much to everyone who came out and to Welcome to Chinatown for hosting us! 💞
Special thanks to @Vanessa for the footage and for working the pop-up with me! 🥹
If you couldn’t make it this time, my next pop-ups are coming up on Nov. 18 and Dec. 10—save the dates! 🗓️

Chilly NYC weather has me missing my recent trip to Italy, where perfect temps and la dolce vita reigned like the Roman Empire BCE 😁
My kind of ordinary delight: Sipping your caffe latte while standing up at a traditional espresso bar in Rome 🥺 @tazzadoro

Mid-Autumn Festival is here, which means it’s the season to enjoy a hot cup of tea and mooncake, the traditional delicacy that symbolizes completeness and togetherness to celebrate prosperity and reunion with loved ones.
In addition to its pleasingly abundant shape, I feel especially captivated by the intricacies of the lattice tops, not to mention its rich and sweet taste—lotus paste with egg yolk has always been my favorite.
This selection also includes more modern matcha lava and durian lava mooncake from Fay Da Bakery in Manhattan’s Chinatown.
What’s your favorite kind of 🥮?

Hi guys! Last month I got to participate in a mini Shark Tank-like event called “So You Think You Can Pitch,” which was hosted by the nonprofit @Welcome to Chinatown at their newly launched Small Business Innovation Hub.
I had the honor of pitching to Sahra Nguyen @Sahra Nguyen of @nguyencoffeesupply , @Maurice Ng of Tings Capital and Sam Yoo of @Golden Diner , and Lisa Hope King was our moderator.
I wanted to share a few highlights from my 3-minute pitch and some of the helpful feedback. I’m so grateful that Welcome to Chinatown created a space where entrepreneurs at any stage can grow, network and collaborate. They’re still fundraising to meet their goal for renovating the Hub, so please consider checking out their future programming, donating and sharing.
A very special thanks to @ultrapuggy for capturing footage at the event 🥹🎞️

Last week I showcased my jewelry at NY Now with @Bulletin Incubator, and it was my first ever trade show, with the purpose of meeting retail stores to introduce my collection.
I got to meet a range of boutique owners, retail buyers, and even members of the press. Getting into stores is a relatively new area of growth for my business, and I loved showcasing my work to see the appetite for SUBLIMA. As always, I also loved seeing what pieces buyers and even fellow exhibitors gravitated toward.
I’m excited to fulfill store orders and follow up in these coming weeks 🛍️

Very tickled by this fashionably late SUBLIMA take on the jewels in the tableau cinematic style of Wes Anderson, featured on the equally playful-and-pouty Emilia Leah and captured by the always-inspired @Vanessa who is really quite the auteur herself 🌸
The shrub-hugging at the end has me weak 😆
Hope ya’ll are skipping into the weekend like usss!

Behind the scenes of how I made the new Baby Boba Ear Cuff, now live on the site 💦🧋
This little adjustable ear cuff is actually a segment of the Boba Tea Ring, repurposed. After choosing the portion I wanted to use, all I had to do was form it into a circular shape and soften the edges that I sawed.
The long drippy part nestles in the lower conch portion of the right ear, which I think looks striking. 👀
The design also retains the liquid movement and one little boba pearl from the Boba Tea Ring. 🥺

I met dancer and model @Haze kim a few years ago, originally on Instagram and then not too long after IRL since we’re both based in NYC.
I love her grace and attitude on the dance floor through her waving style. I often think of her art as a medium for the jewelry, because the output of Haze’s mindset and work ethic to hone her craft is mesmerizing flow-state self expression.
I see parallels between that and how artful jewelry can help adorn and proudly express more hidden elements of each of us, as we present ourselves to the world.
Featuring the Smoke Billow Bicep Cuff, Yves Knuckle Ring and Xiaolongbao Soup Dumpling Hoops in recycled brass on Haze 🌊

Had a blast at the opening reception of “ON THE WAY,” a month-gallery and tea shop experience hosted by Empire Taste and curated by @jocehu and Thomas of Dae Tea.
I loved seeing and meeting new and repeat customers, and fellow artists and designers and their work—posting a lil’ overview so you can get a sense of what it’s like. If you’re in NYC, you can visit any time in July!
It’s always a treat to see what pieces people gravitate toward. This was my first pop-up where I wore the new Baby Boba Ear Cuff (launching on the site Thursday!) and I’m so pleased people asked about it and sold out my small batch of inventory—it was definitely the bestseller of the night.
Through July, I’ll have select bestsellers to showcase and sell at the space, so feel free to swing by later in the month to try on and shop the Boba Tea Ring, Decorative Edge Spiral Ring, Oyster Hoops, Double Happiness Drop Earrings and Double Happiness Box Chain Necklace. (All at 15% off.) And more artists’ dope merch!
“ON THE WAY” is on view through July 30th, with fresh tea daily!
48 Hester Street
New York, NY 10002
Hours: Tues-Sun, 11am-7pm
