I had originally planned to wait until I had beautiful photos to write properly about its story. For such a generously sized keshi pearl, we chose a drill-free setting so it could retain its most complete natural texture. Every fold, every thread of lustre, is a one-of-a-kind gift from the sea. A first preview here, with more client photos to follow ✨
Over the past month and more, many old friends have sent in long-neglected pieces from home, giving them a fresh lease of life. We do not follow trends, and we do not settle. From colour and size to meaning, every detail is adjusted so that your strand belongs to you alone.
Step-cut diamonds lay down a cool geometric foundation, like the white walls and steel windows of a Bauhaus school building, building a rational stage for colour with a sense of disciplined order. The Royal Blue sapphire is the cool-headed "structural colour", like a vertical line on a Mondrian canvas, restrained and steady; the Pigeon Blood ruby is a blazing "emotive colour", like Con...
A Long Road Ahead, Walk On With Purpose
Maupassant described the Grand Palais in Paris as “the glass dome lifting up the whole sweep of daylight, steel bones threaded with an artistic galaxy”. The 18k gold structure echoes the Grand Palais’ steel framework, while step-cut diamonds are arranged in classical columns, recreating the power of order and authority in architecture, like the pillars of ancient Rome bearing the justice of the city-state, shaping the authoritative outline of the ring shank; the centre emerald...
Woven rattan texture winds through the untamed lines of the hills, while keshi pearls are wrapped in the deep-sea's innate softness. The rattan texture of the mountains and the pearls of the deep sea are brought together. There is no deliberate "refined design feel" here; the wild textures of nature and the gentle warmth of keshi are directly "carried over" into the jewellery. This unadorned, original texture is the wildness of mountain vines...
Eastern art has always been an important part of Art Deco. Around 1920, large numbers of jewellery pieces in Oriental styles appeared in brand catalogues, and jadeite, the most emblematic of the East, was used extensively in jewellery. When French geometric sharpness meets the misty radiance of Eastern jadeite, the jadeite's luminous glow and the fire of diamonds alternate in flashes of light and shadow...
The soft glow of Australian South Sea pearls is like the halo settled in classical paintings; every layer of nacre carries the warmth of time. It is not a simple lustre, but a texture slowly matured by nature and age. The diamond cut is full of ingenuity, with the light flowing through it just right, while the delicate claw setting does not steal the stage, allowing the gemstone to speak for itself, like the honesty of old craftsmanship...
In days when gold prices are soaring, we chose the ancient gold-and-silver layering technique. Its earliest origins can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. More than 2,000 years later, silver and 18K gold are combined today. Breaking through material boundaries, it is as though moonlight and sunlight have been fused into one. Italian woven engraving brings texture to the silver body, and the chased patterns are etched by time. There is...
Have you ever had a "tequila sunrise"? The golden keshi pearl and three colours of coloured sapphires instantly took me back to the Mexican coast, watching the sunrise slowly rise over the morning sea. Being captivated by summer is one of the most intense emotions in a brief human life. That heart most aflame in midsummer is born and begins to beat in June...
“Natural wild pearls and brilliant diamonds woven together represent the most moving royal aesthetic of the last century.” Thanks to technological progress, cultured pearls and laboratory-grown diamonds allow ordinary people to enjoy such "royal privileges" as well. When choosing the colour of this pair of creamy-gold pearls, we opted for 18k white gold with no plating. Yes, this is 18...
The term "Baoxiang" can be traced back to the Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, where it was a respectful term for Buddha images. The Baoxiang floral motif flourished in the great age of the Tang Dynasty. In the restrained culture of China, it appears almost uniquely magnificent, not only symbolising royal dignity and glory, but also carrying the memory of that brilliant era.
As long as 7,000 years ago, gourds appeared in the lives of the Hemudu people. Before the Tang Dynasty, the gourd was worshipped only as a totem, expressing people's longing for natural vitality and serving a function in conveying information. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that it acquired the secular meaning of "fortune and prosperity". As dynasties changed, the gourd was endowed with ever more meanings. It carries happiness...
Have you ever seen tulle craftsmanship magnified 20 times? This lace technique has always been a brand's showcase of technical virtuosity, and remains a favourite among high-end collectors. Lace has long been synonymous with elegance and romance; this timelessly stylish classic element Tulle hollows out the metal, forming a lace-like texture and making the metal components light and translucent...

Classic styles are versatile and highly wearable. And good things always seem to bring good fortune. Refined jewellery can attract blessings and wealth. Whether through energy fields or psychological suggestion, there is always...
