Kinn Studio founder and CEO Jennie Yoon reworked its Vow bridal collection with a new angle that encourages clients to refresh their engagement ring or wedding jewelry as their style changes–updating their jewelry like they would their wardrobes.
Yoon’s shift comes as engagement jewelry is going through multiple transitions, including redesigning rings after a breakup or divorce, restyling rings at anniversaries, or refitting heirloom stones into more modern settings. The Vow update makes bridal jewelry not just a one-time experience but a long-term relationship that evolves as the client’s marriage does.
The Vow collection’s new advertising campaign reflects this with a video starring an actual Kinn Studio client who describes how she has reset her Josephine engagement ring three times.
“I think I’ve earned it being married 13 years now,” the woman says. “Over the years throughout every evolution of my ring, the diamond has always stayed the same. It holds so much meaning and value to me. … With every evolution of this ring, it’s been representative of who I am now and who I will continue to evolve into.”

The new Vow collection includes ready-to-buy rings as well as customizable settings with names such as Josephine, Elise, Daphne, and Kira (named after Yoon’s daughter). Rings start at $780 for a diamond-pave band to $5,280 for the Jade radiant eternity ring with diamonds set in yellow gold.
Yoon says she decided to refresh the bridal line because she wanted people to know their bridal jewelry wasn’t frozen in time. They can update their rings at any time, something one of Yoon’s friends did with Kinn.
“She had been married for years, and while her marriage hadn’t changed, her personal style had. Her original ring was platinum, but over time she found herself wearing only yellow gold. She loved what the ring represented, but she no longer felt like it represented her,” Yoon says.
Yoon says her friend kept the center stone and redesigned it into a simpler yellow gold setting that felt more like her today. Changing to gold also gave her the flexibility to stack different bands and evolve the look over time.

“That project completely changed my perspective. I realized engagement rings aren’t just about the moment you exchange vows. They’re pieces you hope to wear for decades, and people naturally evolve over that time,” Yoon shares. “If we accept that people grow and change, why wouldn’t the jewelry they wear every day be allowed to evolve with them? That became one of the ideas behind launching Vow.”
Clients can do the redesign in person at Kinn Studio’s stores or through a digital experience. Yoon explains that she can reuse the gemstone, gold, and any other jewelry a client has in their Vow redesign. She also offers redesign services for other sentimental jewelry—something she sees increasingly often as clients want a fresh look for pieces otherwise sitting unworn in a jewelry box.
The redesign trend also speaks to sustainability, a key aspect of Kinn Studio since Yoon founded the brand in 2017.
“I don’t think updating a ring means letting go of its history. In many cases, we’re preserving it,” Yoon says. “To me, that’s what jewelry is meant to do. It’s meant to be lived in. If thoughtfully redesigning a piece means it gets another generation of wear, I think that’s one of the most meaningful forms of preservation.”
