I’m sure there are some people looking at this picture thinking...
Who is this man?
A man who is comfortable to have his picture taken wearing an apron and a tiara.
Well, curious people, I’m here to put all that curiosity behind you and tell you that this man I am talking about is a jewellery dictionary, a jewellery master, I’m even going to go out there and say, a jewellery god!!

This person I’m talking about is Seung Ki Hong, though it’s a well known fact that he feels we cannot pronounce his name properly so in the jewellery world he is known as Ki.
Ki career started in the late 80s and early 90s he was a Sergeant, Medical Corp in the Korean Army. Though everyone who is in Indigo 2 would know that by now because he has told us many times if we get hurt he has no problem stitching us up right then and there!
Ki never fails to let us know how talented he really is by informing us that almost every part of the work shop he has built himself, from the safety switch on one machine, to the cement beam holding the whole workshop up! (Okay, I exaggerated a bit with the beam, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he really did).
If you haven’t guessed already Ki is a now a teacher at the Enmore design centre and has been since 2004. Ki is an asset to the jewellery and object design department and we are very grateful to have him as our teacher and thank him for sharing his amazing talents with us.
So Ki, thank you for not only being a great teacher but for supplying us with such fantastic photos on your birthday!!
Ki & Miriam
