Atelier Zhen — Minimalist Handmade Jewelry

Atelier Zhen began with two former college roommates who spent weekends visiting small shops, making things by hand, and collecting stones, glass, ceramics, pearls, and other small objects they wanted to live with. What started as pieces for ourselves and friends slowly became a studio.

We still work in a similar way: one of us is drawn to materials, the other to light, photographs, and everyday spaces. We make jewelry for ordinary days — quiet pieces that feel personal, lived with, and worn again and again.
