When Jennie moved from South Korea to Los Angeles at age 12, she and her brother adopted new names—a common practice for many immigrant families adjusting to life in America. Years later, holding her newborn daughter Kaia, Jennie found inspiration for a jewelry line that would honor immigrant journeys like her own.
The Dear Kaia Nameplate Necklace is the result of this inspiration. Crafted from 14k solid gold, it's a piece that carries meaning beyond its elegant appearance. The nameplate features characters 5mm in height, creating a subtle yet distinct personalized design. At 1.6 grams in weight the necklace is light yet resilient enough to be worn daily.
The necklace pays tribute to immigrant families and their stories. It's designed for those who appreciate the nuances of dual identities—honoring one's origins while embracing new beginnings. In Jennie's case, it's also a connection between generations, from her own immigrant experience to her daughter Kaia's future.
Wear the Dear Kaia Nameplate Necklace as a stylish accessory, but also as a symbol of your unique story. It's more than just jewelry—it's a narrative in gold, linking past experiences to present moments and future aspirations.
This necklace embodies the idea that our identities are multifaceted. It's a refined way to carry your heritage with you, whether you're a first-generation immigrant or descended from one. Each Dear Kaia Nameplate Necklace is a personal talisman, elegantly crafted to represent the wearer's individual journey and the collective experiences of immigrant families.
