In 2017, our founder Yinn started Gung with one objective:
“To empower women to be confident in their own identity, no matter what anyone says”.
This is because there’s a lot of pressure on women to conform to society’s expectations.
For example, a new mom returning to work might appear to prioritize her career over family, while choosing to stay at home could be seen as someone who can’t contribute to the household financially.
It’s a lose-lose situation.
So what we want is to help every women build their own identity and be proud of it.
Once they put on our jewellery, they are able to express themselves and build their confidence.
To say "This is who I am and I am proud of it"
We’re here to create jewellery pieces that make you look and feel good all day, everyday.
To Own Your Jewellery, Your Identity.
