“Inside Out” takes inspiration from tailoring, specifically tuxedos and the lapel where the inside of the fabric becomes visible. The “Flip” bangles seen here feature 18-karat yellow gold that has been folded over and set with pavé diamonds ($12,700 for right, $21,500 for left).
Boston—Hearts On Fire has pre-launched its new “Inside Out” collection exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman.
The collection includes 28 pieces inspired by the artistry of bespoke tailoring as a celebration of the transformative power of the perfect fit, said Hearts On Fire.
The skill, creativity, and precision of tailoring fabric is reflected in the designs, in which 18-karat yellow, rose, and white gold, appear fluidly bent and folded.
Pavé diamonds are used to highlight the exposed “inside” half of the folded over gold.
“Tailoring is an exquisite artistry that blends precision, meticulous detail, and personal expression, much like the craft of fine jewelry, with every stitch and seam carrying intention and creativity,” said Yunjo Lee, creative director of Hearts On Fire.
The “Inside Out” collection’s “Link” necklace with 19.30 carats of diamonds has removable links to become a choker ($69,000).
The elongated diamond “Flip” ring in 18-karat rose gold with 0.60 carats of pavé-set diamonds ($5,500)
Hearts On Fire’s petite “Flip” drop earrings in 18-karat white gold with a diamond drop ($6,400)
The large 18-karat yellow gold “Drop” earrings with 1.50 carats worth of pavé diamonds from the “Inside Out” collection ($12,700)
The “Inside Out” collection also includes pieces in full pavé, like the “Drop” earrings seen here in 18-karat white gold ($24,000).
The “Flip” choker also takes inspiration from folded over fabric, featuring pavé diamonds in 18-karat yellow gold ($24,500)
Full pavé is also used in this “Link” bracelet from the collection, where the folded over motif is transformed into links ($38,200).
The Inside Out collection is more than a tribute to a tailor’s craft; it’s a personal tribute, as Lee based the collection on her mother’s experience as a seamstress and the look of folded fabrics.
“I have fond memories of playing with leftover fabrics from my mother’s tailor shop, and I still remember how fascinated I was by the endless possibilities through the craft of transforming fabrics into different canvases,” said Lee.

She was drawn to the timeless elegance of a tuxedo specifically and wanted to transfer the design’s sense of confidence, strength, and sophistication from fabric to fine jewelry.
“Mimicking the process of a tailor’s craft, we deliberately chose to work with paper—cutting and folding it in certain forms. When the silhouettes sprang to life with just a simple flip, I felt an exhilarating sense of discovery. In that moment, we knew we had uncovered a visually prominent and striking focal point that truly gives the design its character,” said Lee.
