The jewels of the Belgian designer Kimy Gringoire Lejeune and her brand Kimy Gringoire Jewelry ♦

Her name is Kimy Gringoire Lejeune and she founded the Kimy Gringoire Jewelry brand. Kim Hye Mee is a designer of Asian origin, but she is a naturalized Belgian: she married a tattoo artist, Alex Lejeune. Wedding rings and crosses were the first step in jewelry.

Then, she widened the field, with an eclectic and counter-current style, which includes jewels such as handcuffs (in rose gold), which are opened by pressing a diamond. There are two different sizes, for him and for her. Boucle Diamant is a rose gold earring that can be transformed into a minimalist ear stud studded with diamonds. Now it offers One Swing earrings, with hoops that are worn in an unusual way. Or a ring with a double evolution in rose gold, which embraces the fingers and ends with two small globes studded with diamonds. Also innovative are the earrings that rest over the ear (hoping they don’t fall?). In general, the jewels have a very minimal design, but also with new ideas. If you like jewelry with a Nordic atmosphere, Kim Hye Mee’s jewelry could be for you.

Evolution or revolution? It happens, at some point in life, that you want or need to start over. And this is what happened to Kim Hye Mee, a Korean designer we have already talked about here. After having created the Kimmeeheye brand in Antwerp and while, she explains, she was about to “create large-scale designs”, the creator discovered she was pregnant and decided to focus on a new brand, together with her partner Steve Marchal.

The new brand, Kimy Gringoire, intends to celebrate love. She certainly celebrates design: the first collection is called Love Cables. Born in Korea, Kim Hye Mee grew up in Belgium, but she is also a travel enthusiast. After studying Communication in Belgium, she chose jewelry to express her creativity. Kimy Gringoire jewelry design is innovative, but not exuberant. Gold rings, with small diamonds and with soft, rounded lines. However very different from the previous production of the designer.

The jewels of the Belgian designer, of Korean origin, Kim Hye Mee: simple geometries that hide complex solutions ♦

She defines herself as “rough and refined at the same time.” Kim Hye Mee is a designer of Korean descent, but grew up in Brussels, Belgium, where she lives and works. She founded the brand that bears his name in 2012. In fact she is not rough at all. Indeed, her research on more than on form than materials, and her position as an emerging designer and undoubtedly original. Her collections are located in high-end jewelry, with a luxury not too ostentatious, linear, almost simple. Almost.

In fact her ideas seem easy, but are the result of a strong personality. To act as the main protagonist is the idea of the double. His pieces are often reversibles, foldables, transformables. Rings with two faces, bracelets and earrings that are duplicated are halved are part of the repertoire of this young but determined designers: to allow these movements, often the jewels hidden complexes invisible mechanisms. Gold, also rhodium, and whites or blacks diamonds, are the base materials he works on Kim Hye Mee. Prices: a ring of Swing Swing collection ring costs about 6000 euro. Giulia Netrese
