  New York, NY (PRWEB) July 31, 2007 -- Jewelry designer Yumi Chen has relocated to New York City and will debut a stunning new fall collection at AccessoriesTheShow in the Jacob Javits Center from August 5-7.Colorful crystals, fine polished woods, and imported kimono silk will set the stage for an autumn daydream.
  
  Yumi's decision to pair lustrous woods with brilliant Swarovski crystal was inspired by her favorite Impressionist painters."Monet and Sisley had a wonderful way of contrasting radiant autumn leaves with nature's more neutral tones," Yumi explained."To me, the balance between natural woods and dramatic, bright colors captures the feeling of autumn."
  
  For Yumi, the essence of autumn is also woven by threads of kimono silk.This inspiration came during a recent trip to Kyoto, Japan, where Yumi discovered the ancient art of "chirimen" silk crafts."I instantly fell in love with Japanese silks and had to incorporate them into my work," she said.

  I feel very lucky to have someone like Yumi Chen with the capabilities of having more skills to learn work and design. First Yumi Chen became Porfessional pastry chef later became violin student and mathematician. Slowly she became the most talented women with her beautiful collections of jewelery. Being pastry chef she came up with the idea of professional jewelry designer. I fell in love with all her collections of Jewelry that can match with any outfit and make us smile. Her collections of jewellery will always come in fashion that include uthentic Swarovski® crystals Swarovski® pearls and 14kt gold-filled and sterling silver findings. Her designs are colorful classic and elegant.
  ...
  Yumi Chen is an accomplished concert violinist professional pastry chef and mathematician. In 2003 she redefined herself as a jewelry designer and entrepreneur launching her online store at yumichen.com. hile growing up in Scarsdale New York Yumi was a serious violin student a pursuit requiring both creativity and great precision. Years of success in competitions and performances might have led Yumi to a future spent in concert halls but her academic interests instead brought her to Boston to study mathematics.
  
  After earning her B.A. Yumi moved to Europe studied pastry at the illustrious Ritz Escoffier in Paris and spent several years working in New York and Boston's best restaurants. In addition to earning accolades from a top New York food critic Yumi learned how to run a successful business. Just as her future seemed certain however Yumi was injured in a work-related accident which required a long recovery period.
  
  And so it was by virtue of an accident that Yumi began her own jewelry business. Her experience as a pastry chef gave her a unique sense of color and balance; her time in Europe which included an inspiring visit to Venice exposed her to the world's most beautiful glass; Yumi's years of experience in the food industry taught her how to run a successful business; her background in mathematics and music imbued her with an appreciation for precision and care - qualities which are found in each beautiful piece of jewelry she makes.

  Philadelphia, PA (PRWeb) February 27, 2007 -- Jewelry Designer Yumi Chen brings her traditional Japanese heritage into the spotlight with contemporary kimono cloth jewelry.She introduces a new twist on the ancient art of "chirimen" -- crafts made with handwoven Japanese cloth.
  
  Yumi's inspiration came during a recent trip to Kyoto, Japan, where she discovered the ancient art of chirimen crafts."I instantly fell in love with chirimen and began searching for books and supplies about the subject," Yumi said.She found beautiful kimono cloth patterns with imperial cherry blossom florals, mythical animals, and vintage Japanese motifs.
  
  Although chirimen are fun and beautiful, crafting them is not easy: At the center of each bead is a lightweight core, around which Yumi delicately wraps a swath of Japanese kimono cloth.She meticulously trims excess fabric and carefully aligns all edges, to give every bead a uniform appearance.For Yumi, the process is a passion: "It's extremely labor-intensive, but I enjoy the creative work."
  
  Yumi combines her Japanese kimono cloth beads with colorful Swarovski® crystals, Swarovski® pearls, and 14kt gold-filled and sterling silver findings.Her designs are colorful, classic, and elegant.Additionally, Yumi's signature jewelry collection features imported Venetian glass and Swarovski® crystals.A full jewelry catalog including cell phone fobs and eyeglass chains are available at http://www.yumichen.com.
