What we love about Emily Ryu
Los Angeles-based Emily Ryu Virnich is a holistic health coach and the founder of Are You Creative marketing agency. She was born in California and raised in Korea by her grandmother and single mother, immediately exposing her to female empowerment from a young age.
Emily’s wellness journey began as she was preparing for her wedding. Once she started eating healthy and going out less often, she realized that she had been placing her well-being as her last priority for many years.

Our collaboration
Emily Ryu Virnich’s book, 365 Days of Sun, was created during a period of intense growth in her life. After years of structuring her days around strict daily habits that were causing her stress, Emily now chooses to “enjoy things for the sole fact that they bring me so much joy!” She is now more flexible and less rigid, a philosophy we can relate to at THE RAYY. As with life, when the creation of art flows naturally, the result is a piece with soul.
For Emily, the sun represents finding happiness, but it can also reflect her hidden side. Emily is refreshingly open about her evolution as a woman, and her curiosity to discover new sides of herself aligns perfectly with the FACETS collection.

Emily’s 18k gold pendant holds a portrait that echoes a side of her personality only she can see — unless she chooses to reveal it.
So, what’s Emily's hidden message?
Emily Ryu Virnich customized her FACETS pendant with Blanca Miró Skoudy's 'WILD as a hurricane' portrait, a piece that coincides with a dramatic change coming to her life: the birth of her twins. The necklace also reminds Emily to embrace her inner rhythms and always choose joy, flowing where her intuition takes her. For Emily, the FACETS jewel is a daily symbol of her freedom to live life unapologetically as herself.
