Today Mimi Jung, founder of BROOK&LYN blog and boutique, debuts her jewelry line for those who don't follow trends, but rather steer their own paths and are constantly on the lookout for something truly one-of-a-kind.

Get Surrounded by BROOK&LYN
We love Mimi Jung and her blog, BROOK&LYN and have been following her work for some time now. Armed with a great sense of style, the multi-talented Mimi (she's a brilliant photographer as well) has now launched a BROOK&LYN jewelry line with her debut collection, Surrounded.

"The collection was inspired by a set of rare, one-of-a-kind agate stones that I discovered during my recent trip to Hong Kong," Mimi says. "Agate had not typically appealed to me, most have muddled and overly bright patterns – but a rare few I discovered have beautiful soft coloring, with unusual, almost organic markings. Since the stones are the focal point of my designs, I’ve been on an endless journey to find more of these rarities. In order to find a stone I feel is special enough to use in this collection, I search through thousands; but I believe the end result is well worth it."


"The name of the collection, Surrounded, is an homage to the process of creating each piece. An agate stone is naturally composed of a center ring surrounded by concentric rings of varying shape and color. Each stone’s ring pattern is echoed by a hand-crocheted border and the entire piece is then surrounded in rope," the designer explains.

Because each agate is hand selected for its uniqueness in color and pattern, each piece looks and feels completely different – we're talking one-of-a-kind jewelry here.

So how much will a beautiful BROOK&LYN necklace set you back? Much less than you'd think - Mimi has priced the pieces from $90 to $285, and bracelets will soon be added to the site.

To celebrate this launch, BROOK&LYN Boutique has been redesigned, and international shipping costs have been dropped drastically for good, so get shopping now!

Are you ready to get surrounded by BROOK&LYN? Which is your favorite piece?

    Everything is so beautiful and I wouldn't mind wearing some of these just about every day. Love the Heatwave necklace.
