Mimi So - How I Design Beautiful Jewelry

Mimi So is an influential jewelry designer known for blending fashion with fine diamonds. Her designs are often called "modern classics" and "highly graphic" - perhaps a result of her training at the Parsons School of Design.

Well respected in the fashion industry, Mimi So is one of the only jewelry designers elected to the Board of Directors of the CFDA, alongside luminaries such as Derek Lam, Oscar de la Renta, Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren.

In this rare glimpse inside her atelier, Mimi So shares her New York studio and workshop, as she was designing her now famous Diamond Bow, and other pieces of couture jewelry.
