IO Collective is delicately handcrafted collection of fine jewelry designed by California-native, Jenifer Thai. Since its inception, Jenifer’s whimsical designs have only continued to evolve as her craftsmanship skills advance and flourish. Using ethically sourced precious and semiprecious gemstones and refined metals, each piece is thoughtfully designed to tell a story - often one of a client’s - whether it be an engagement, anniversary, or a redesign of a beloved family heirloom. Handmade and fabricated in her Orange County studio, IO jewelry is destined to be cherished and worn forever. Jenifer’s passion for jewelry began at an early age when she would watch her father buy and sell fine jewelry in Vietnam. Mesmerized by these beautiful gemstones, she had no idea that her life path would one day lead her into the jewelry industry. Years later, while working in the New York City finance industry, Jenifer began making jewelry as a hobby. This hobby eventually developed into a career after apprenticing as a goldsmith in California, ultimately bringing her back to the Golden State where IO Collective was born. She not only has a love for design, but also for the process and purpose behind every piece that she creates. Jenifer Thai Founder, Designer “There’s something incredible about creating a piece of jewelry that has so much meaning behind it. I love knowing that my designs are associated with some of the greatest moments and memories in a person’s life.”
