Yen Duong is a modern designer of Vietnamese heritage, her early years being spent in Wales. She studied at the Sir John Cass School of Art in London, graduating in 1995. She established YEN Jewellery the following year, working from her studios in Bloomsbury, her designs showing her fascination with the structural elements of jewellery, and incorporating movement and fluidity, with a highly tactile quality. Previous exhibitions of her work include those held at The Goldsmiths’ Company and the Crafts Council, and she has worked with Liberty of London, Selfridges and Harvey Nichols.
