The 9th Muse Jewelry
When I first heard about The9thMuse jewelry I was intrigued just from reading their mission statement: “Explore with us. Be adorned, amused, and inspired. Be your own muse.” I found it to be very provocative and I wasn’t disappointed.
The9thMuse jewelry brand was created by the Hong Kong boutique and ecommerce destination sharing the same name, known for carefully curated accessories from the best contemporary designers worldwide. ‘What a cool idea,’ I thought—a great way to get the best of the best. The first collection was launched in 2015 by a young and savvy entrepreneur Jing Zhang. She and her partners felt the void in Hong Kong shopping, and aimed to invigorate the city with a captivating, earnest retail experience. They offered cutting-edge and vintage, classic elegance and nouveau glamour—items for the body and the home, as well as the imagination.
The jewelry selections are fascinating in their contrasts and balances, and are composed of beauty and fine craftsmanship.
Mix & Match
The premiere collection, called Twelveotwo, includes unique jewelry that is affordable and easy to mix and match in yellow gold, rose gold vermeil, and sterling silver with shining stones and lustrous pearls. You can purchase studs individually or as a pair that are also interchangeable with multiple options of complimentary linear earring styles. This new collection was a success.
Charms & Chains
The9thMuse’s Sparks is the second collection and has been a huge success as well. It takes classic layering styles to a more personal level. Customers have the ability to express themselves. They can customize their own necklace with initials, a fun hashtag, or even a favorite saying. Charms and chains are sold separately and come in sterling silver, yellow and rose gold vermeil and are detailed with a fine, sparkly cubic zirconia pavé.
Interchangeable
After the success of the brand’s initial two collections, The9thMuse went on to curate the new, edgier Girlfriend, Wife and Mistress collections that include much bolder statement pieces with pearl, smoky quartz, and chain accents. Though each collection evokes a different emotion, they are all interchangeable and work together cohesively.
Giving Back
The9thMuse brand has created a limited edition 18k gold Get Nasty necklace ($234), with 20 percent of proceeds being donated to Planned Parenthood. This is a cause close to their heart that they will continue to be inspired by and create in support of going forward.
The brand thoughtfully sources their distinctive looks from vintage finds to fairtrade to goodwill items, charming home wares, enchanting bespoke pieces and creativity in-house, the company aims to provoke reactions and evoke desire. Their focus is collaboration—making a connection with customers, talented designers and global artisans and advocates.
For this company, jewelry and fashion is about originality and passion, finding and collecting handsome things. Zhang and her partners have fulfilled their mission with each collection. In their words, “Our style is global and curated by travels near and far, inspired by escapades and everyday delights, colors and textures from all over. “
