As the holiday season approaches, STUDIYO Jewelry, an innovative e-commerce jewelry store founded by Diana "Yoyo" Lee, is proud to introduce its newest creation, the Perched Bird Earrings. This collection reflects Yoyo’s background in architecture, merging artistry with precision to offer unique, sculptural jewelry designed to captivate and inspire.
The Perched Bird Earrings, described by the studio as a "whimsical addition to any wardrobe," celebrate the beauty of architectural balance with birds perched elegantly on ledges. Drawing inspiration from mid-century modern art and motifs popularized
by icons such as Charles and Ray Eames, these earrings blend nostalgia with modern sophistication. "I want my work to feel both personal and timeless,” commented Yoyo. “These designs are an extension of my journey from architecture to jewelry—capturing bold lines and delicate forms in wearable pieces."
A Journey from Spaces to Jewelry: Yoyo’s Vision
Yoyo began her career as a commercial interior designer, crafting spaces where forms, lines, and light converge. While working in interior architecture, she developed a passion for translating architectural elements into small, meaningful objects. This transition from designing interiors to jewelry allowed her to take a hands-on approach—creating intricate designs that resonate with her architectural sensibility.
"Jewelry is my wearable interpretation of architecture," Yoyo explains. "I started with two-dimensional sheet metal because it reminded me of the paper modeling and prototyping I used in architecture school. The skills I acquired as a designer have shaped my jewelry collections in ways I never anticipated."
STUDIYO Jewelry's designs incorporate clean lines, geometric shapes, and playful details, echoing the structures and forms Yoyo encountered during her travels. Materials such as stainless steel, sterling silver, and gold vermeil reflect both durability and elegance.
Introducing the Perched Bird Earrings
The Perched Bird Earrings are a statement piece for the holiday season, designed with meticulous craftsmanship, as highlighted in this Instagram post. Featuring hand-enameled detailing, these earrings are available in 14k gold-plated brass, enhanced with a nano-ceramic coating for added durability, and 925 sterling silver posts, offering both elegance and reliability.
These sculptural earrings pay homage to the mid-century bird motifs once used as decoys, later reimagined as decorative elements by renowned designers.
Due to the handmade nature of the enamel process, every pair of earrings has slight variations, adding a personal touch to each item. Whether worn for special occasions or as an everyday statement piece, the Perched Bird Earrings are designed to invite conversation and inspire joy.
