SHAPING EMPTINESS
Founded in the vibrant city of Seoul, ARTY HONUX has emerged as a beacon in the jewellery world.
Characterized by its inclusive philosophy, the brand not only embraces individuals of all genders, ages, and appearances, but also values their unique contributions, reflecting the diverse tapestry of its origins.
“We believe that everyone has a story to tell, and our jewellery is a medium to express it.”
ARTY HONUX delves into depths of love, exploring its romantic aspects and the intricate, sometimes painful emotions that define us. Their heart symbol, imperfect yet candid, powerfully embodies this attitude.
It takes the form of a viper's fangs, symbolizing the strength, resilience, and bite that love can bring, even in the face of trials.
The empty prong stands not just as a void but as a poignant reminder of where love once was and how it continues to shape us.
"Though the place where love has passed may seem vacant, the luminance we hold from it never truly fades," the collection suggests.
Each piece is a testament to the pleasure that can be found in imperfection.
ARTY HONUX's credo,
"Though we may not be flawless, every form of love we cherish is invariably important,"
this is captured in the latest venture, the <Empty Prong> collection. Traditionally, a prong in jewellery settings cradles a gemstone, often a diamond, to symbolize eternal love.
"However, we have reimagined this concept. By leaving the prong empty, our collection makes a bold statement on the ephemeral nature of love. The absence of the diamond does not diminish the design's impact; instead, it illuminates the beauty and light that remain after love has transformed."
