Artistry meets jewelry – Yumi Chen’s Japanese kimono cloth bead bracelets

Talk about multi-talented! Yumi Chen is an accomplished concert violinist, professional pastry chef, and mathematician. In 2003, she redefined herself as a jewelry designer and entrepreneur, launching her online store at yumichen.com.

Although we all love our silver and leather bracelets, it’s not difficult to see why everyone’s buzzing about Yumi Chen’s stunning cloth beads bracelet collection! Her recent Chirimen (the ancient art of crafts made with handwoven Japanese cloth) line is heavily inspired by her Japanese heritage. But she’s added her own twist – combining exquisite Japanese kimono cloth beads with beautiful Swarovski crystals. “I instantly fell in love with chirimen and began searching for books and supplies about the subject,” Chen revealed to PrWeb in February of last year.

Let’s take a look at some of Chen’s latest creations from her Hibiscus Collection. All three are priced at only $70 USD!
