KIM SEONG-EUN
Founder, CEO & Creative Director

Redefining the Binyeo as Korean Fine Jewelry

Tradition is not merely explained. It is owned and treasured.

For designer Kim Seong-eun, the binyeo is neither a museum relic nor an accessory worn briefly with hanbok. It is authentic Korean jewelry—created to be worn by women today, treasured for a lifetime, and passed down to future generations.

Since founding NASCHENKA in 2002, Kim has transformed the form and symbolism of the Korean binyeo into contemporary silver jewelry. While the market became increasingly filled with mass-produced imported hairpins and brass ornaments, she remained committed to 925 sterling silver binyeo designed in Korea and handcrafted by Korean master silversmiths in Seoul.

The material of a binyeo matters as much as its form. When a piece is presented as traditional Korean craftsmanship, we should consider what it is made from and whose hands created it. Authenticity is not achieved through appearance alone.

A NASCHENKA binyeo is designed with careful attention to its weight and balance when worn, the curvature of its shaft, and the direction of its decorative elements. Kim personally selects natural jade, coral, amber, and pearl, designing the silverwork around each gemstone’s unique form and color. Nature-formed stones and artisan-crafted silver come together to create a singular binyeo.

The phoenix, dragon, peony, bamboo, and lotus are more than decorative motifs. They are Korean symbols embodying royal dignity and authority, prosperity, integrity, vitality, and nobility of spirit. Kim reinterprets these traditional motifs through a contemporary language of binyeo for women today.

The NASCHENKA phoenix binyeo worn by IVE’s Jang Wonyoung is a defining expression of this philosophy. The phoenix—once associated with the dignity and noble beauty of the highest-ranking women of the royal court—was reborn through a young contemporary icon as a new expression of Korean beauty. It demonstrated that the binyeo can transcend the world of historical dramas and stand as fine jewelry for the present day.

Company

Kim’s 21st-Century Daegunbuin project likewise moves beyond reproducing royal ornaments from the past. It reinterprets the refinement and symbolism of Joseon royal women through 21st-century binyeo and hairpins designed to complement not only hanbok, but also modern gowns, tailored jackets, and everyday updos.

Every NASCHENKA binyeo is conceived and designed by Kim Seong-eun, then individually handcrafted in Seoul by Korean silversmiths with decades of experience. The subtle variations in the curves of the silver and traces of handcraftsmanship are not imperfections; they are evidence of authentic Korean silverwork.

A NASCHENKA binyeo is not a souvenir for a one-time hanbok experience. It is a collectible work through which its wearer carries Korean history and craftsmanship—and passes them on to the next generation.
