Yin Yin Wu is the designer and founder at LoveGem Studio. Yin Yin has always been passionate about arts and crafts, including beaded jewelry and paintings. But it wasn’t until after her boyfriend (now husband) proposed that she learned about metalsmithing.
Yin Yin was motivated by the desire to fabricate their meaningful wedding rings. She took a metalsmithing class from City College of San Francisco and learned the jewelry making techniques. The class gave her the fundamentals to go explore and learn on her own about other ring design and fabrication techniques. In 2013, Yin Yin opened her online jewelry shop LoveGem Studio due to the desire of making meaningful jewelry for others.
Yin Yin’s academic background is in mechanical engineer with a concentration in energy efficiency and conservation. Green and sustainable business practices are important to her business. Yin Yin supports Trees for the Future to help fund planting a tree for every piece of jewelry that is sold, another way for her to give back to the environment.
