Since her childhood, jewelry has been the founder's most powerful pull — something deeply personal and quietly energizing.
Silver and gold are not simply born of starlight. They are forged in the most extreme moments in the universe: the explosion of a supernova, the collision of neutron stars. Rooted in awe for these most natural objects ever formed, and in a trust in the deep, positive energy held within natural minerals, COLDFRAME has been crafting luxury jewelry since 2014 — spiritual, personal, and made for effortless, everyday luxury.
True luxury is a philosophy: it exists solely for one's own spirit. Guided by that belief, COLDFRAME creates jewelry for those who have nothing to prove.
COLDFRAME History
2014 · Origins in Hannam-dong
In the summer of 2014, COLDFRAME begins with its first store on a quiet street in Hannam-dong, Seoul. Handcrafted by the founder and designer, its gender-neutral, experimental pieces find a deep resonance among Seoul’s artists and designers.
2015–2016 · The First Collection
The brand’s first collection takes shape in New Haven, USA. Drawing on the work and life of Georgia O’Keeffe, and on forms shaped by nature, such as the structure of bone and the stamen of a flower, the collection unites strength with delicacy.
2017–2019 · Gordian Knot
The Gordian Knot collection translates irregular, entwined knots into bold sculptural form. It remains the best-selling collection in the brand’s history, and in 2025 it evolves into The Silent Guardian collection.
2019 · Anima
COLDFRAME presents the Anima collection in Paris, an exploration of the forms of vintage jewelry. From it emerges Claw Onyx, which faithfully recreates the functional structure of the claw designed to hold a stone in place. It is now COLDFRAME’s signature bestseller.
2020 · Colorless Padlock
COLDFRAME unveils the Colorless Padlock, a natural quartz crystal left fully revealed rather than enclosed. Defying the convention that a stone must be set within metal, this bold design becomes a COLDFRAME icon.
2021 · Roman Pottery
Inspired by the pure forms of pottery, Roman Pottery debuts alongside several collections that have since become enduring favorites.
In July of the same year, COLDFRAME opens on the ground floor of Shinsegae Department Store Gangnam.
2022 · Myeongdong
COLDFRAME opens on the 10th-floor duty-free level of Lotte Department Store’s flagship in Myeongdong, broadening its reach to clients from Korea and abroad.
2023–2024 · To the World
COLDFRAME enters select stores in the United States, Switzerland, France, Copenhagen and Japan. Through global online retailers including HBX, its designs reach an international audience.
2025 · Seochon
Concluding its chapter in department stores and duty-free, COLDFRAME opens the COLDFRAME Seochon store near Gyeongbokgung Station. The story that began in Hannam-dong now continues in Seochon, where a new chapter is being written.
